UK voluntary NICs; class 2 or 3


Ferrets

Recommended Posts

I've sent off my application for class 2 NICs, working up until we migrated in 2016.  

My wife worked until 2014, and then was a stay at home Mum until we migrated.  She did get NIC credits over that period as a child benefits recipient.

I spoke with HMRC about making voluntary payments, and they were unable to advise over the phone if she should be making class 2 or 3 voluntary contributions, and recommended sending an application in for class 2 for consideration.

With a turnaround time of 44+ weeks for applications at the moment is it worth going through the process to try and get class 2?  Or as I suspect it's clear cut that she can only get class 3 that we go straight to the paying for class 3?

 

Thoughts appreciated,

Cheers!
