Just left my job, should I do anything?

in Benefits & tax credits
I've just left my job. I'm taking a long holiday in a few months for a few months so not planning on working (except for a load of DIY). I doubt I'll qualify for any benefits as I live with my working partner and have a reasonable stash of savings.

Should I be doing anything now? NI contributions? I hope I'll be getting some tax back as I was PAYE, do I wait until the end of the tax year?

Thanks

    Are you planning to return to work in this financial year?
    Gone ... or have I?

    Hopefully. I'll be returning to the UK in Jan and looking for work.

    In that case, your tax will be adjusted next time you are in work.

    You can make voluntary NI Conts towards your pension if you wish to.
