Dendoo

hi I’ve heard this mentioned abd have not a clue what the deal is. I gave up my self employment about a month ago cos I couldn’t do it anymore mentally or physically. I’ve not paid stamp the last few years as I just couldn’t afford it . Myself and my

Partner are changing from working tax to uc this week and I’m trying to pick up as much info as I can . I was advised to claim

For pip which I have now done and also got my fit note ready to submit when I do the change over . If anyone has the time please can you tell me anything about it thank

You . I don’t know if this helps but I looked after my grand daughter once a week or if she was off nursery I’ll for more days from jan 22 till March 24 and I believe I’m entitled to some ni paying I also think

I can’t apply for that till October . Thank you

To qualify for New Style ESA you need sufficient NI payments in the last two years
