HMRC Admin 8 Response

Hi,
As confirmed on our website:
Home Responsibilities Protection, you cannot have HRP transferred to you if you reached state pension age before 6 April 2008.
This is also confirmed in the eligibility checker:

We apologise if you have previously been given incorrect information.  
When HRP was introduced there were various criteria that had to be met this is one of them.
Thank you.

Hi,
Without being able to check your record we are unable to give a definitive reply.  
Please contact the NI helpline on 0300 200 3500. Lines are open 8am – 6pm Monday to Friday.
When calling you should specify that your query is concerning contracted out National Insurance contributions.
Thank you.

Hi,
Without being able to check your record we are unable to give a definitive reply, but from what you have said, that would appear to be the case. However HMRC cannot give advice on pension entitlement.  
You may wish to call the DWP future pension centre to clarify this, their number is 0800 731 0175  8.00am to 6.00pm Monday to Friday
Thank you.
 

Hi,
Our processes have recently changed, and we now require you apply for the A1 in order to also receive the S1.  
The application form you will need to complete is the CA8421:
Apply for a certificate to confirm you pay UK National Insurance when working in 2 or more countries (CA8421)
It will ask a number of questions to determine your circumstances, one of the questions asks if you only work in the UK, and an A1 and S1 will be issued if you are eligible.
Thank you.

Hi,
The correct form to complete when employed in the UK and self employed abroad would be the CA8421.
You can find this online at:
Apply for a certificate to confirm you pay UK National Insurance when working in 2 or more countries (CA8421)
Thank you.

Hi,
Please check your Personal Tax Account (PTA) to see if the NICs you have paid have been credited to you Sometimes this type of issue is resolved by HMRC when the incorrect details come through from the employer.
 If your PTA does not show the correct information, please write to the following address:
Contribution Caseworker
HM Revenue and Customs
National Insurance Contributions and Employer Office

You should include your correct NINO and also the incorrect one you have used.
Please also include copies of any payslips or P60s you have and any other relevant documents.
Please do not send original paperwork.
This type of query cannot be dealt with by telephone as we need to see the documents.  
To manage your expectations, the area that would deal with this are currently working on letters that were received on 23 January 2024.
Thank you.

Hi,
The eligibility calculator for free childcare is here:

There is a section entitled ‘If you’re not currently working’ which you should check:
Class 2 NICs can only be paid if you are self employed.
Class 3 NICs only count towards basic State Pension
Thank you.
