How do I locate my national health number so I can file for a pension?

Question

My husband left Belfast N.I in 1961 and Iam in need of his national health number so he can see if he is intitled to a pension

Answer 1

if he left Belfast at that time and has NOT worked in the UK or paid taxes then sorry to tell you he is NOT entitled to a pension from the British Government........well put it this way he wont get one posted to him if he lives in another country.

Checked this out for my uncle who lives in USA and left the UK about the same time [and in fact had probably worked maybe 2 years in the UK prior to leaving] at that time I had a friend working in pensions section of DHSS and she checked and just about peed her self.......LAUGHING........

Answer 2

If you are looking for his National Health Service number,it should be on his medical notes at his GP surgery
if you are looking for his National Insurance Number he should be able to get this from Department for Work and Pensions

Answer 3

Try asking GP or The Pension Service

Answer 4

National health number will be registered with his GP
I suspect you mean national Insurance number
for that contact your local Department of Works and Pentions Via the job center

Answer 5

Your GP should have it on file. Failing that, your husband should register with a new GP and he will be sent a copy of his NHS number. Oh, hang on, did you mean National Insurance number? Easy, contact your nearest Job Centre with his name and DOB.

Answer 6

I'd ask at your gp surgery or look in the box on the top right hand corner when you next get a prescription.

Answer 7

Old pay slip.

Local GP he is registered with.

Any current medical information from your local hospital will enable you to ring them and with other id like passport obtain his NI number.

Answer 8

My NHS card, as well as those of my kids, have their NHS number on and it's the same as the code on our birth certificates. Don't know if it's the same for everyone, but worth a try.

Answer 9

Ring your local dept. of social security they will issue you with a card with his number on it. Your husband may have to request one himself due to privacy and confidentiality.

Answer 10

you would have to phone your local job centrethey would be able to put you in touch with the relevant department
