National Insurance query

FIREDreamer

I started my last job in December 2010 and retired in June 2024 aged 60.

i have a full NI record but on further examination, 2014/15 and 2013/14 whilst full seem to have had NI credits added. I did not take any sick leave or any other unpaid leave during this time. The year 2013/14 has 52 weeks credit! It doesn’t matter of course but I am curious as to what has caused this.





Thanks

No caring, just a regular 9-5 office job. Wife stay at home mother. No benefits apart from child benefit in my wife’s name.

Have you checked her record ?

Hers is full too, all credits after 1995 when she gave up work.

Are the paid employment figures similar to the figures for years on either side?  Or is there a difference which could suggest they think you had a gap in employment?

Here’s a few years around it …

OK I guess not - though the £1462 looks a bit low.  Still it is a mystery how they could add on 52 weeks of not working to that (I did have one year which they thought lasted 54 weeks)

2019 is lower as I went from 5 days to 4 and upped my pension salary sacrifice but despite NI contributions being a lot lower, nearly halved, it is recognised as a full year with no credits. Strange.

I've got 105 weeks for one year and I was only out of work for about 30 weeks !

MrsM has 69 weeks one year.

Let’s face it, DWP and/or HMRC are useless.
