HMRC Admin 21 Response

Hi dbaykina,
Can I suggest you contact the NI helpline on 0300 200 3500. Lines are open 8am – 6pm Monday to Friday.
Please note that we can only consider your request for confirmation of your late husband’s National insurance number if you are one of the following-
Administrator – a person appointed by the courts to administer the estate of someone who had died in England, Wales or Northern Ireland; usually where there is no will. In Scotland this person is known as an executor dative
Executor – In England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland, the executor is a person who is named in the will to deal with the estate
Personal representative – a general term for the person who is responsible for the settling the affairs of someone who has died. This term includes executors and administrators
If you wish to become your late  husband’s personal representative, you will be read the following when you call and must agree to it– 
If a refund of National Insurance Contributions is made to the estate, or if National Insurance contributions are due you will be responsible for dealing with the refund or debt as part of the estate of the deceased person and settling the claim of any other person who is entitled to a share in the estate
If someone else obtains probate (in Scotland, confirmation) or letters of administration for this estate, you will immediately return any refunded National Insurance contributions to HMRC National Insurance Contributions and Employer Office.
You will be responsible for all queries relating to the deceased individual and will receive all correspondence issued by HMRC.
Thank you.

Hi Advisor AJN,
I am afraid HMRC cannot advise on the rules for claiming state pension. This question will need to be directed to the DWP.
Department for Work and Pensions - GOV.UK
Thank you.

Hi Sj1985,
This link shows how your NI deductions as an employee should be calculated.  National-Insurance/how-much-you-pay
If you feel these are incorrect, you should speak to your employer and ask them to confirm they are using the correct calculations.
Thank you.

 

Hi Chan,
You have not said why your mother needs a NI number.
I assume you have tried to use this link to apply – 
Apply for a National Insurance number and because you have presumably stated ‘not working or looking for work’
The response states you cannot use this service to apply. It does not say you cannot apply - 
https://www.apply-national-insurance-number.service.gov.uk/apply/may-not-need-nin.
It goes onto say – 
If you were told to apply for a National Insurance number to get benefits or a student loan paid, you should not use this service. We will contact you and tell you how to apply for a National Insurance number.
If you entered your mobile number as part of your application for benefits or a student loan, we will send you a text telling you what to do. If you did not provide your mobile number, we will send you a letter.
You cannot apply for a National Insurance number for any other reason. For example, you cannot apply for a National Insurance number only because you need to open a bank account, open an Individual Savings Account (ISA) or pay into a pension.
If you have been told you need a National Insurance number for any other reason, contact the organisation that told you this. They should have an alternative process for people who do not have a National Insurance number.
Thank you.

Hi Jonathan,
You will need to contact the Benefit Claims Helpline on 0800 055 6688 to make a claim for Maternity Allowance (MA).
•    You will need your MAT B1 form from their midwife.
•    The DWP will identify if you need to pay your Class 2 NICS early to qualify for the higher rate of MA.
•    Where early payment is necessary the DWP will immediately contact HMRC who will issue a payment request to you if required and the DWP will write to you to advise the outcome of your claim and if they have contacted HMRC.
Thank you.
