You can sign on to JSA as a "non claimant" and you will get your NI credits paid for you (curently worth about £12.50 per week), if you want to do this phone the claims line and ask for "Nat Insurance credits only" claim - 10 min phone call

Thanks. Will try the above.

Quite surprise and confusing- the system.

A lot of people ( least some i know) who doesnt work make it sound or look so easy to claim those benefits and look as if they live life waybetter off than those who works and scrimps and still not able to save at the end of the month.:(

If you don't work, have never worked and nobodyelse in the house works and if there are no disability issues involved, then claiming and receiving benefits is relatively easy.
