Claiming national insurance back. Is it possible?

[Flip]

I've been paying class 2 national insurance since Apr last year and I didn't need to because I was getting Icapacity Benefit which give you class 2 credits. Can I claim this money back? If so how do I do it? It's probably about £100.

phone the contributions agency, it is all part of the inland revenue now, they should be able to tell you.
good luck

I don't know who to get in touch with. Do I speak to my local tax office?

084591 589 949 -that is the direct number for the newcastle office.

yes you can my dp set himself up as self employed but never actually started( he went back to his old employed job) but we forgot that the direct debit had been set up for s/e so i phoned them explained the situation they told me to put the situation down in writing which i did and we got a cheque back a couple of weeks ago.
