Paying voluntary National Insurance contributions - ridiculous processing time


Recommended Posts

There's a deadline for paying additional NI contributions going back more than 6 years of 5 April 2025.  I started the application process online today thinking there'd be plenty of time.

 

I was therefore surprised to learn there is currently a 15 week backlog.   Assuming the backlog doesn't get longer (which it probably will), I can expect them to post out a reply on 24 January.  Add a couple of weeks for post from UK to Thailand, and then I'm getting very close to the deadline.

 

If anyone else is thinking of making such contributions, I suggest you do it a.s.a.p., and do it online.

Not sure if this helps?

 

If you have made voluntary contributions in the past, then you should be able to by-pass the initial phrase by making a payment(s) using the same reference as before. Your 'new' contributions will then be credited to your account a couple of months later.

 

I've made 3 sets of payments like this over the past 5 or so years.
