Is it so they can check for loss of earnings that you may be claiming for?

I dont think so as I am retired!!

I do not recieve any pension credits or other benefits.

It is a holiday claim I questioned why they needed my NI number and the solicitor said they had to inform the Dept of Works and Pensions of all claims.

Just seems a bit strange to me.

Any compensation awarded may/will be set against any benefits you may be receiving. DHSS work on NI number not name. They are required to inform the DHSS when compensation is awarded.

Thanks for your reply
I thought it may be something like that.
