Urgent: NI number on SET(O) form

[pranav.vaidya]

Hi,

I entered the UK in Jan 2010 as Tier-2 (ICT), later I switched to Tier-1. In Oct 2012, my role was made redundant however I found another job and continued.

In this process my ex-employer informed Works & Pensions Dept, HMRC that I'm no longer employed and they cancelled my NI.
I had re-apply for a new NI and since then all contributions are going into the new NI.

On SET(O) form HO asks you enter your NI which I believe will be my current NI number.

My query is would it affect that I had 2 NI in last 5 years? Why does the HO ask for your NI?

This is very urgent as I'm applying to PEO next week. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks.

I don't think there will be a problem in just putting your second NI number in the form. Since you are going for PEO if the case worker have any doubts they will ask you and you can provide an explanation of the same. Carry the previous NI number and if you received any letter from NI about the cancellation with you. If they ask provide it or else leave it. All the best.
