I filled in my CF83 last April 2023 and received my reply for NIC for Class 3 contributions recently. However I now believe I qualify for Class 2 instead of Class 3. Has anyone found themselves in a similar situation? Have you appealed the original and if so, what is the process? I can’t find information on how to proceed with this. Thanks

What are the circumstances exactly for why you think you should be eligible for Class 2?
Read the Key post and subsequent posts.
Post in thread 'UK State Pension - Make voluntary contributions to qualify for UK pension on top of Irish pension' https://www.askaboutmoney.com/threa...n-on-top-of-irish-pension.230581/post-1813832
Living and working abroad and worked/lived in the UK immediately before leaving. Have lived in the UK for more than three years in a row and have more than 3 years contributions
I have read through the posts but I can't find anyone reapplying or trying to do something similar to me?

Send them a letter giving details of why you qualify for class 2. Include all your employer details. You could send a copy of your prsi record as well. I have done that for my oh and waiting to hear back.
Thanks @partnership Where would you find the prsi record? I'm talking 30+ years ago. I worked in several jobs as well at that time, some places don't even exist anymore

Go onto your irish my gov account and request your statement or ring them. Good practice to get this regularly so you know what you have for Irish pension.Thanks @partnership Where would you find the prsi record? I'm talking 30+ years ago. I worked in several jobs as well at that time, some places don't even exist anymore
Thanks @partnership but why would my Irish prsi record be useful? Sorry, but I’m confused on this

It would help prove that you lived and worked abroad immediately after leaving the UK.
Oh yes, of course..that makes sense! Thanks for that..I'll send them a letter with all that and see
@Star10 Irish Revenue will have a list of all your employments in Ireland, going right back. (They did have to dig into the archives for me, so it took a little time.) If you are trying to change from class 3 to class 2, maybe give the HMRC a call. +44 191 2037010. I was just speaking with someone there and they are very helpful.
Thanks @Deejaydee. I have the Irish ones alright. I’ll give HMRC another call maybe as well

If I worked 3 yrs in UK, then studied for a year and then got a job.....does the study year impact the Class 2 decision?? Wondering...
My understanding is that after you left the UK you had to go directly to work in another country, but I’m open to correction on that..
