Thousands unable to get an NI number because of coronavirus

"The government told me it was still legal to work but my employer keeps asking me for it," says Ciara Conalty, who moved to the UK from Ireland in June to work as a hairdresser.

She also had trouble opening a bank account, having to apply to six before HSBC finally let her open an account "so I could get paid". BBC Radio 4's Money Box has found that British Passport holders arriving here for the first time are also unable to apply. "I'm looking for full-time employment, and in many of the job applications they ask you for an NI number. They won't let you go any further until you have it.""To have this added stress to further my job applications has not been easy," she says.The government says it was necessary to suspend parts of the National Insurance number application process during the pandemic so it could redeploy staff to process benefit claims.
