New Enterprise Allowance Scheme
Client wishes to claim the New Enterprise Allowance Scheme (“NEAS”), however has not paid any NI Conts for approx. 5 years and partner’s income is approx. £30k and savings in excess of £16k etc. Can client still apply for the NEAS whilst claiming ESA or U/C (on the grounds of sickness) knowing that he/she will not receive any payment as such but only NI Conts themselves, or must client actually be in the position of receiving the out of work monetary payment itself.
Many thanks.
