Social Security Number (Where to find it)

My husband is due to receive the state pension in a couple of months.
One of the questions listed on a questionnaire, is what is his social security number.
Can anyone tell me where we would find this? I take it everyone has one?

We have never claimed or received any benefits, other than the 'family allowance' but that was 40 years ago. So not sure if this makes a difference.

  • Do thry mean his National Insurance Number?

    Should be on any payslips, P45, P60, anything from the DWP.

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    I did wonder if the National Insurance number was the same as Social Security number.
    I guess it must be. Oh well, I'll tell him to put that down.
  • I'm sure anyway they will be able to access his details with the NI number.

    Good luck!

    Thank you. I'm sure they'll shout if we're wrong.
