I know it's slightly different and not fraud. But after reaching the grand ole age of 35 I have just been notified that I have been using the wrong NI no for the past 19 years!!!!! How?? you might ask.. It turns out that another girl at the age of 16 with the same DOB and name as me was given the same no that I was given, unfortunately it was me that got the wrong one! It has only come to light because the other person has had a child and made a claim for family allowance... what a nightmare it has been. I got a letter from NI contributions stating that I live in scotland (although they sent letter to my home in Gt harwood), work in blackburn but also work at Heathrow airport... Now how flippin clever am I???!!!!???

So now trying to sort out if all my NI contributions have gone into the right pension fund etc...
