Thread: wage slips for JSA appeal

I have posted on another thread that my husband has been refused contribution based JSA as they say he hasnt enough NI contributions and we are appealing

We can find his P60 for 2007/2008 but not for 2005/2006 but we do have all his wage slips for this period and intend to copy these and attach to the appeal , however appeal form says the the independent adjudicator does not have the authority to check ni contributions ( which is ridiculous as the basis of his appeal is that he has paid enough NI) so will they even look at these ? what else can we do

Have you had a word with CAB they are very good on sorting out this type of thing I know because they helped my son sort all the paperwork out because he too was refused. Good Luck.

You need 2007/08 and 2006/07.

You need to prove that your hubby has paid sufficient NI in both those years. It may be that the DWP have to send a request off to HMRC to check whether his employer has paid over the deducted national insurance. I'm not up to date on the procedure anymore.

I think I posted on your other thread.

You don't need to appeal on NI contributions and an appeal will be ignored on the basis that you mentioned.. If you have the P60 for one year and the later payslips in the other year - Something around Feb or March 05/06 that would show the nearest NI contributions total to the end of the tax year - that would usually be sufficient.

What you need to do is to contact the processing office and explain that you have new information showing that you believe that you should be entitled to JSA (contribution based).

They should organise an appointment for you to present this information at the jobcentre. The jobcentre should take the P60 and wage slips (make sure they copy the originals and return them to you and send the copies stamped as verified) to the processing office who should then input the information onto the system which would override the incorrect information held.
