I retired early at 55 years of age. Do I have to pay national insurance contributions?
earlier this year things changed you need to have thirty years paid nation insurance,you can still claim credits you’ll need to sign on at the local job centre to do so,if you have any income including investments then this along with any savings or partner earnings will be took into account when working out any payments,if you would like to look for work you can use the services of the job centre or other employment agents,some will help you with bus fares, telephoning, filling out forms,stamps, clothing replacements and advice
