My brother is back from living in the UK. Since back he has had to seek social welfare assistance. He received a letter from the social telling him he did not have enough stamps to receive full payment; but think he will receive a smaller amount each week.
He was absolutly baffled by their decision and brought it to their attention that surely he was well covered, as he always contributed taxes whether self employed or in a 9 to 5 job.
Long story short, they sent him out a list of companies he worked at while he was in Ireland, so he could clarify what they had on record was correct.
Immediately he noticed his term as a civil servant in the 70's was not on the list, so he rang them up and they said there was no record whatsoever of him being employed at that time. They subsequently asked him could he provide payslips from that period to prove his employment.
We are talking the 1970's here so obviously he does not have payslips from that time.
Currently somebody is looking further into it for him but so far they are coming up with nothing.
If he hears nothing shortly he is seeking legal advise.
With no payslips or P60 from nearly forty years ago what will he do?
