Answer 1

fill in an appeal from and also contact your local tax offfice to get your NI record, you will need your NI number

Answer 2

The best way to find out is by phoning the National Insurance helpline on 0845 302 1479. Have your NI number handy. They will check what your NI contributions have been.
I'm certain the Job Centre is right, though.

Answer 3

interest seekers allowance isn't consistent with something different than whether or not you're at the instant employed - that's the reason maximum cancers sufferers are dying because of the fact there isn't sufficient funds for the medicine, human beings prefer to stay at abode and declare on an identical time as sitting on piles of money.

Answer 4

i had the same problem, it's prob because you live with your family. do you ? my mum had to phone them and tell them she wanted me to pay rent or she'd kick me out. i'd never had a job or payed tax. Then i started getting about £40 a wk. that was about 6 yrs ago tho. not sure how much you'd get now, because i havent claimed benefits for yrs.

To get any £ you have to make them think you'll get kick out where you staying.
