My wife has moved back from UK, worked from 14 Jan 02 to 29 Nov 02. Got made redundant and in effect was paid up for December 2002 with the redundancy settlement.
Back to work 9 JANO3 until now and went on 3 day week wef 9 Jun 03.
Put in a claim for those days not working and was advised today that she does not qualify because she does not have 39 weeks prsi contributions!! Am I going loopy but from 14 jan 02 to 29 Nov 02 is more than 39 weeks and is last year for tax and claim purposes.
tax year - 1 Jan -31 Dec 02 = last year
tax year - 1 jan 03 - 31 dec 03 = this year
therfore preceding year = last year.
Am I missing something glaringly obivious?
