You need to be persistent and ask the right questions.

If you're not prepared to fight, give up. No one said it was going to be easy.

The UK Government has a similar defacto response to PG&E (except PG&E actually wrote to claimants telling them No), ignore the first request, think about it on the second and maybe do something on the third.
Most people give up somewhere between 1st and 2nd request, and as the department doesn't have a large enough head count to resolve all issues, they just handle the ones that look like they will kick up a stink. Of course this isn't official policy and they will deny it if challenged, but I bet anyone who has ever dealt with them has expereinced this sort of journey to resolutionComment

I called the national insurance number and they told me they had technical issue where the call is cut mid way... So after 20 min wait and 5 min chat it just cut.... damn. I'll try again calling
I was also paying myself via the Basic PAYE tool, and I was wondering something:
[IMG][/IMG]
I normally just put my wage in the "pay amount for income tax purpose" and leave the "Pay amount for NICs purpose" blank. But actually could that be what's missing? Should I put something in this box to get the tax credit? And if so what should I put? Any idea?
ThanksComment

The recommendation is to pay between £6241 (Lower Earning Limit of £520/month) to £9500 (£792 Primary Threshold). It indicates it still gets state benefit contribution.Comment
