National Insurance

National Insurance is a scheme introduced by the British government to give payments to help financially if needed.

It is funded by employees and employers.

You are given a National Insurance number which you must give to your employer. If you were born in the UK you will get given this just before your 16th birthday in the post. Otherwise you need to apply for it. Can someone explain how to do this?
