  • Old CF83 Forms?

    Are you still accepting old CF83 forms? When do you plan to stop accepting them? Thanks
  • RE: CF83 Application with a Temporary NINO?

    Thank you. If they left the UK 30 years ago, can they still get a NINO now?
  • CF83 Application with a Temporary NINO?

    I'm helping someone do CF83 who worked in UK for 3+ years but they only ever had a Temporary National (TN) Insurance number. What extra info should they provide to ensure they're found by HMRC on the system or will there be any issues with just applying with a TN? Thanks
  • RE: New CF83 form guidance (HMRC 12/23)

    Thank you Admin. Q - If a person has lived and worked (paying Nat Ins) in the UK for just 1 year followed immediately by 2 qualifying years of working/paying EU Social Insurance (as per NI38 guidance), how should one answer Q5 & Q6? ie: Will answering 'No' to Q5 & Q6 disqualify those who previously qualified for Class 2 as they paid EU social insurance? Q - If a person can not recall their National Insurance number, presumably their last 3 address and any additional employment details are still required to find them on your system as per NI38 Guidance?
  • Appealing a CF83 Decision?

    A relative has just been told she needs to pay Class 3 NICs following the assessment of her CF83. We've checked closely and believe she fits every Class 2 eligibility criteria with 8 years of Nat Ins paid in the 1990s having been ordinarily employed in UK immediately prior to leaving and then continuous work abroad since then paying EU social insurance (evidence provided to International CaseWorker) What steps can she take to appeal this decision? Is a Mandatory Reconsideration possible?
  • RE: New CF83 form guidance (HMRC 12/23)

    >>> We are still accepting old style applications Thank you for clarifying. Can you please confirm that you will continue to do so up until 5 April 2025? Or if not, what's the cut-off point / where can people check whether or not you're still accepting old style applications?
  • RE: New CF83 form guidance (HMRC 12/23)

    Am in similar situation to Steve above. 1 - What is the HMRC cut-off DATE for NOT accepting old CF83 forms anymore? 2 - 'Has the CF83 assessment process changed?' is a critical question we need a DETAILED answer to please. 3 - If a person has lived and worked (paying Nat Ins) in the UK for just 1 year followed immediately by 2 qualifying years of working/paying EU Social Insurance (as per NI38 guidance), how should one answer Q5 & Q6? ie: Will answering 'No' to Q5 & Q6 disqualify those who previously qualified for Class 2 as they paid EU social insurance? 4 - If a person can not recall their National Insurance number, presumably their last 3 address and any additional employment details are still required to find them on your system? Thanks in advance.
