Hi Everyone, my name is Steven and this is my first post. I have been receiving LCWRA for several years now, I have been working part time throughout most of this time. I was wondering if I can claim back National Insurance payments I have being paying on my wages or do I still have to pay NI if I work. Any help 🙏 would be brillant. Kind regards, Steven.

Thank you again woodbine. I'm trying to think how and where you would claim the NI contributions back. Do you have any ideas :-;

Do you mean tax or NI? For NI if you earn between £123 and £242/week you will be treated as having paid class 1 but you don't actually pay anything.You will only pay NI contributions if you earn more than £242/week or £1,048/month. See link. https://www.litrg.org.uk/tax-guides/employment/what-national-insurance-do-i-pay-employeeLCWRA is part of UC which also includes class 3 NI credits towards your state pension only (which you can't claim back)How could I have paid too much National Insurance?
Most taxpayers who work for one employer are unlikely to have paid an excess of National Insurance.
But many people whose employment circumstances are less straightforward are likely to have overpaid. This is because the system treats each job separately and deducts NICs from one, without reference to the others.
The crucial thing to remember is that HMRC have no process in place to check the accuracy of NIC payments and avoid taxpayers’ overpayments. It is all up to you to check you NI history and apply for a refund. https://www.taxrebateservices.co.uk/tax-faqs/national-insurance/claim-a-national-insurance-refund
If you've paid too much tax then you can claim this back but it will be treated as earnings for UC.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
That is an amazing response Poppy. Thank you so much.

Hey @mathy, welcome to the community
I don't think I can add anything regarding your questions as it's already been quite well answered! Instead I'll just ask, how are you doing today?
