Student contributions

I had two spells as a student, totaling some 7 years study. this was all pre 1990.

I worked, part time, during all my study.

What happens with regard to NI contributions for students? Are they credited.

    Best to use the online system to check your national insurance record and find out your current situation, since that will take only fifteen minutes or so in most cases.

    You will have received three years of juvenile credits starting at age 16 and I think that you were a student early enough to get credits for that as well but I forget the exact changeover date, so check to be sure.
