Carers Credit

Who is it for

Anyone who is caring for someone for at least 20 hours a week.

How it works

Carers Credit fills in gaps in your national insurance record and protects your state pension contributions if you have to stop working to care for someone. This can be helpful if you are not entitled to Carers Allowance.

You can find out more about Carers Credit on the following link:
