Annual heating allowance, not arrived

Katiehound

My letter is dated 12 November
it says to contact them on 0800 731 0160 if payment is not recived by 23 December with NI no.
Clearly 'Y' is a popular year. Well it is/was... the 'Bulge!'

We could look at the final letter in our NINo - I believe that's the character which indicates the day of the week  payment is made for weekly payments.  My final character is D, I'm paid on Mondays and received the £200 last Wednesday.

As far as I am aware the last letter: ABC or D refers to the quarter of the year (or financial year) in which you first applied for your NI number!

Or maybe that is just an urban myth

I was sad enough to google. No, historically it used to indicate the quarter in which your employer had to send in your completed card with all its stamps on (actual sticky stamps) and start a new one. Yes, we are talking a long, long time ago.

Gosh I remember those cards. My boss used to send me to the Post Office to buy thr stamps. Then they were stuck in the cards and the date written across them. Such a long time ago...

Ah, so it did refer to a quarter of the year. I also think it was when you first applied for your card- cos the letter was an integral part of the number!
For many years my card only had the very odd stamp on it- I assume working Sats only did not qualify for anything!
