Hi,
So I’m a Uk national who’s just turned 18 who never received an NI Number due to my parents having never filled out a Child Benefit Claim.
I have to take a gap year next year as I need to save money for uni and due to NI Number apps being closed to UK nationals because of COVID I’m worried I won’t be able to start work soon enough to do so.
Provided things don’t resolve by the time I need to apply for Student Finance next year , how will I claim my loans without an NI Number on hand? I’m really worried .
