You were signing for 'credits'...National Insurance Credits. (Stamps to you and me) to keep your pension up to full rate.
I used to work at the Dept of Employment, so know these miscellaneous facts.

I used to work at the Dept of Employment, so know these miscellaneous facts.... but how come I had to amass 40 years of NI stamps when others claim it's 30?
was there not a different scheme ?before what we have now, i vagely remember it being changed when i first started out as an apprentice,,,I'm not disputing that
there may have been 3 items taken off your wage, 1, tax,, 2 a national ins contribution,( but it might have had a different name) 3 there was something else not sure its name, but i think it might have been to cover sickness and or unemployment,
anyway it was changed and a new name which was nat ins contributions, but no one recieved anything back from the old system that they had been paying into, ??
i remember the older guys complaining of that.
... too bloody RIGHT!!
would you remember anything about that Arthur?
it was too early on in my start to working, to fully remember details,,,
i remember getting my wage pkt, and also i think it was a pale green slip(not tax and ins) i think this slip was the old reciept of what had been paid into the scheme,
it could also have been a one off slip when it ended, but im thinking i got this slip weekly, and seperate to wage tax reciept, after the system changed there was no longer reciept a ticket
, Stewart ... not really. But then, I never took much interest in these things when younger; all I can remember was getting a monthly salary slip showing the deductions you mentioned.
pity i managed to save many a p60 from years back, but nothing in connection with this from then, if i had i could proberby figure what it was ect
It is still showing on our payslips Arthur. One thing is for sure we are all being screwed,
depending on when you were born of courseI'm not disputing that
this may explain it Arthur
How many qualifying years do you need?
The number of qualifying years you need for a full basic State Pension depends on your age and whether you're a man or a woman.
Men born before 6 April 1945 usually need 44 qualifying years.
Women born before 6 April 1950 usually need 39 qualifying years.
Men born on or after 6 April 1945 need 30 qualifying years.
Women born on or after 6 April 1950 need 30 qualifying years.
