What do the numbers in a UK National Insurance Number mean?

UK National Insurance Numbers

The last letter refers to the order you are drawn up in case of a war. A=the first lot, D=the the last lot.

Nonsense!! A NI number is issued at around the age of 16 and stays with you for. The previious post implies that a 70 year old with a A will get called up. Women are issued with a A and aren't subject to conscription, so again, nonsense.

The first 2 letters exist purely to allow repetitive use of the same 6 numbers, in the same way that car license numbers change prefix (ie KC52 LWD and KC57LWD, one use of 52LWD, 5 years apart.)

Conscription is purely age and fitness based.
