Not clear what you are saying. Although you did not start the thread you added your question to it, even though it is 5 months old. What do you mean by it would be be a good idea to get this issue sorted. The answers have explained how to get NI credits.50Twuncle said:Thanks for all of your help and advise but I didn't even start this thread !

You are now blocked by myself
You can then do whatever it is that you do without any rude comments from me

There is a current thread on Pensions board too, OP hasn't sorted it out because they want the NI credits without the responsibilities that come with claiming ESA. I'm sure you'll survive the blocking!poppy12345 said:calcotti said:
I didn't make the connection - I think that would be this thread https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5813461/ni-credits-problem#latest.

They went round in circles so many times, in the end they gave up. I can't find that thread now in amoungst all of your past threads. This thread is also 5 months old...Thanks for that, i did look but couldn't find it. I also thought that you did contribute towards that thread but couldn't remember exactly. I know Alice contributed a lot to it. I agree, lets not go there again.Edit to add, i also see it was started more than 2 years ago, which means the OP is no further forward to claiming NI contributions...

It's not that I don't want to claim ESA - It is that I am not entitled to claim any money through ESA !Contributory ESA - due to a lack of relevant recent NI contributions orIncome based ESA due to having over the maximum savings limit of £16,000I do, however, meet the requirements for claiming ESA !

So either you want to claim the NI credits via new-style ESA (credits-only claim, no money) or you don't. Seems a simple enough situation to me *shrug*50Twuncle said:sammyjammy said:

You cannot claim income based ESA because it has been abolished.50Twuncle said:It's not that I don't want to claim ESA - It is that I am not entitled to claim any money through ESA !

Although you are not entitled to be paid new style ESA because you lack the NI contributions it has been explained to you previously that you should be able to apply for new style ESA which will trigger a Work capability assessment and if you are found to have Limited capability for Work to receive NI credits. This advice hasn't changed since two years ago.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.2 -
