National insurance numbers.
Discussion
Just having one of my facts questioned in the office here. I am the middle one of three kids.
So my NI number ends in B.
IE: GT250360B
My bro who is older ends in 'A' and my sister who is younger 'C'.
However, having discussed this at work there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to this final coding as one burd who is the youngest of 4 ends in 'A' and some other wench who is one of two kids ends with 'd'.

Myth I think - I am the 2nd of 3 & mine ends in A.So my NI number ends in B.

The single letter suffix can be A, B, C or D. These were important in the early days of National Insurance contributions (NICs), where employers had to purchase NI stamps and stick them on cards for each employee.
When the cards were complete, i.e. when they had a whole year's worth of stamps attached, the employer had to send them to what was then called the Department for Social Security (now the DWP). They were not all sent in at the same time, but were submitted quarterly, with the quarterly submission dates defined by each suffix letter. For example, the card for NI numbers ending in A covered the three months to February and would be exchanged for a new card at the beginning of March. Similarly, cards for NI numbers ending in B would be exchanged in June, C in September and D in December.
This arrangement allowed the workload involved in issuing new cards to be spread throughout the year. Today, the letters have no such relevance.

So just because you're the second child and your code ends in B you drew a conclusion?
A reasonable assumption I thought considering the order in which my siblings & I have with our NI numbers.Dogwatch said:
The letter is supposed to represent the quarter of the year in which you were born. Anyone noticed that the letters don't go beyond 'D'?
Doesn't always work out though, hence the 'supposed'.....
Again, reasonable conclusion.Doesn't always work out though, hence the 'supposed'.....
I'm born in march so that would put me in band 'A'.
Also this conclusion wouldn't work going on the financial year either.
