It has been eight weeks since I sent the payments, but my National Insurance record has not been updated and still shows gaps. I had set a reminder on my phone as the HMRC website said the following:
Any advice on how I can follow this up with HMRC? Is there a specific phone number I should call, for example?
I rang and they said it is taking 39 weeks to update. I paid in April and not updated. We have to trust it will be okay but it is hard not to worry.
As long as you have your proof of payment, I wouldn't stress too much.
Way back 40 pages ago, I recommended a paper file & keep hard copies of everything. Print off your annual payment confirmations and add those to your file.
Don't rely solely on email, your laptop, cloud, whatever.
Am I correct that the online process is to complete it online and then to print and post it with any additional paperwork / information. They won’t see the online application until they get it in the post. Is that correct ? Just wanted to clarify as often online would mean that the application is submitted to them. Thanks.
As far as I'm aware, you'll be taxed on both. They will be paid to you gross, but it's all taxable income, so tax code would be adjusted in order to collect the tax due.I’ve just received my letter from UK and I can buy back years to add to 10 I had. I hope to continue to buy back years to get to 35 needed. In addition I should get a full contributory Irish pension -I wish to retire at 62 in a couple of years and have been working in Ireland since 1995. Please can I ask if I will be taxed on my uk state pension. I assume only the Irish one is not taxed. Thank you.
Yes, i answered yes, and I expected a query from them on my UK work record, and whether i would claim separately or add to my irish record, given all the info available about this. They may have enquired from UK and would have found out I was in the process of applying for a separate UK pension. I only got one reply stating my Irish pension entitlement, which was less than the full one due to missing years.It seems from your post above that you answered yes to this question .... do you know if the DSP contacted the UK for details of your UK NICS record or not?
Ok fab thanks. Just that it said I needed to print off and sign and post. I think I made a small mistake on one date. Can I redo online or maybe just amend / correct the postal one. Also could not get all my work history into the online version. I think I didn’t do within my account so will redo logged in.If your case is reasonably straightforward, do the online CF83.
If more information / documents are needed they'll ask you.
Thanks for sharing your experience. It’s genuinely interesting.Yes, i answered yes, and I expected a query from them on my UK work record, and whether i would claim separately or add to my irish record, given all the info available about this.

Regarding buying more UK contributions than you need, I somehow doubt you can use 35 for a UK pension and carryover the rest to top up your Irish pension. However, thats a question to ask a person in the Irish pension service.
Thanks all. Redid it after I logged in and it is now submitted. Fingers crossed. Thanks everyone for your help and advice. Seems so straightforward once it is submitted.Ok fab thanks.

I got mine 11 working days after I called them. They send it by 2nd class post and that can be quite slow. They got my address slightly wrong but the Eircode got it to me. I rang after about 10 calendar days and they said they would post a second letter. I haven’t seen that one yet.Hey all,
I applied for a reissue of my national insurance number over 4 weeks ago and still haven't heard anything. I worked in the UK in 2001. For anyone in the same boat that had to apply for their NI number, approximately how long did it take to come? I can't proceed with my pension application until I get it.
Thanks
There is no second class post to the ROI, it is Europe Zone 1 and all letters should be treated the same. If they didn't put a proper stamp on it then it is lucky that it came or that An Post weren't looking for more.I got mine 11 working days after I called them.

Yes. Thats what the question meansShould we enter the July of the first year, when she physically left the UK, and went to Ireland?
I strongly suspect they should not have been claiming this benefit if not resident.Or does the fact that she was in receipt of UK Incapacity Benefit while living in Ireland make a difference?
Not doubting that at all, its being resident full time in another country whilst claiming SW that concerns me.she states that she was genuinely ill, and entitled to receive Incapacity Benefit
