Rejected petition National Insurance Credits During Pandemic and Furloughed Years.

To allow people to be allocated or to apply for National Insurance Credits as many people will not have a full year because of the pandemic and furlough was only 80% which negatively effected our year(s) for National Insurance Contributions. We should not have to pay Voluntary Contributions.

More details

Because of the pandemic and especially people who could not get the 100% Furlough many people have fallen just short of completing a full year or contributions which is not fair. This could cost people 2 or even 3 years where they would normally have had completed years but because furlough was not enough they now have to make hundreds of pounds of voluntary contributions to complete those National Insurance Contributions years. This effects our Pension in the future. Please allocate NI Credits.
