I've been on the appeal train since April and it seems a long ride. They've referred me to some some sort of non resident service with a HMRC International caseworker but no luck by phone - seems to be different to the ones mentioned here. I have a case number from my emailed correspondence but not much else.
My issue is effectively NI contributions not recorded or returned.
I've read about subject access requests to determine this and other things which would be seen as a bit over the top here but if it works worth a try.
I'm not sure though if its to HMRC though or DWP or both? Can seem hard to determine who does what sometimes.
I also received some tax rebates way way back which I assume would strengthen my case on having been working and making contributions, although seems strange how I could have gotten these if NI was not returned.
Any ideas?
