    Oh right, so in order to continue to receive NIC you have to sign on every 2 weeks but do you have to show that you are actively looking for work even though you're not receiving any JSA anymore just NICs?

    Thanks

    Yes, its important to do so as it has an impact on future benefits and also has an impact on your state pension.

    Good luck in finding a job

    Again thanks. But if you have 30 years of NIC behind you it doesn't really matter does it as if I understand it correctly you only [now] need 30 years of NICs to be eligible for a full state pension.
