phone up your local job centre plus and they should give you an appointment, you need to take your passport, evidence you've been looking for a job etc..

it depends on your area or county, my wife was given the number to phone and was sent a pack to fill in and a week later had her NI number by post.

true, but i think she should phone up the tax creds people and check to see whether they have arranged an interview or a pack to be sent to her..

i think you would be wise to phone the tax creds people up and tell them about your letter, and ask them, have they arranged for you to get a national insurance number, if they have, tell them you've been waiting along time, if they haven't arranged it( i'm sure they have thou) tell them you'll phone the jobcentre plus and try and get one yourself.
