Just logged in again at http://www.gateway.gov.uk/ Then click on "Enter the Government Gateway" and get to: https://authenticate.gateway.gov.uk/sidp/SignIn.ashx?gwv=1.0&gwrealm=http%3a%2f%2fwww.gateway.gov.uk%2fmyaccount%2f2007%2f07&gwreply=http%3a%2f%2fwww.gateway.gov.uk%2fDefault.aspx enter ID and password and press enter, and get to: https://myaccount.gateway.gov.uk/Pages/Enrolments/List.aspx And get Welcome xxxxx xxxxx (my husband), what my husband is enrolled for, and a separate list of hyperlinks of enrolments available, the 17th of which is <Self Assessment (SA)> My favourite is: <Sheep and Goats Ear Tag Allocation System for Animal ID Manufacturers> !!!
