Hello I hope someone can offer me some help.
I was self employed and have had to claim ESA contributions based, I've been refused as I haven't paid enough for 2016. Apparantly they take the last two years into account, 2015 is ok but as 2016 is not they have denied the award.
I called NI contributions they said I have a surplus in my account that hasn't been applied he was going to ask the investigations to transfer it over.
Apparantly there's a box I had to tick or Untick on the self assessment to pay my NI voluntarily even though I was entitled to an exemption (which I never applied for btw) so the funds I paid over were put against my NI number but not towards my class 2's. THATS MESSED UP BUT HE DID SAY THEY WILL HELP ME TO GET IT TRANSFERED.
I Call esa to be told I should be paying class 1 contributions!
I corrected him and said that's for employed people not self employed but he was adamant.
My question is I've read everywhere thst it's class 2 for SE and then class 4 on profits
Am I correct?
Excuse the way I've wrote the post I am severely disabled on enhanced care and mobility yet benefit is denied due to my hard earned money being put in a suspense account ?
Thabk you kindly
