Yes
PRSI was only invented in 1979. Prior to that the word was ORD but they have the same value for pension purposes
You're absolutely right but this is only corrected after inverstigation that there is no fraud involved; the computer automatically will 'credit' the record and this triggers investigation.

In pre-computer days (1979), it was harder to pick up on such 'errors' so there probably areanomolies on such records still sitting thereBTW Welfaite As I understand it SW will not award a credit if you have a contribution in the same week, but I'm open to correction
