Thanks for the advice. Problem solved.

If you sign on immediately you may not be eligible for anything until your savings drop but you will get your NICs paid.

as ONW says you need to make sure your NICs are up to date otherwise it could have an affect on your state pension or if you ever was entitled to income based benefits.
