    OK, I think I get it now. 

    Odd that one can earn £6k, pay no NI and receive a full year yet someone paying £1500 NI and £15k tax doesn't qualify but I guess no one said it had to make sense!

    Thanks everyone 

    And another anomoly is that there are those in the 'gig economy' who are earning and paying tax on considerably more than £6k, but because it is split over a number of different zero hours contracts with different employers, end up accumulating little or no NI credits at all.  An overhaul of the NI system is long overdue IMO.
