Does anyone have any experience of claiming universal credit and paying additional voluntary contributions?

I thought that if you claimed UC you were supposed to get credits so wouldn't need to make voluntary contributions for those years ? (although I believe that at present there are issues with DWP passing the info on to HMRC for those credits to be applied to a persons record).0

is this not referring to AVCs as in private pension contributions not NI contributions?p00hsticks said:I thought that if you claimed UC you were supposed to get credits so wouldn't need to make voluntary contributions for those years ?

Yes AVCs are private pension contributions. The question is if they are non taxable taken at source then is your income assessed as the figure after they've been taken.0
