Carer’s Credit is a National Insurance credit for those caring for someone for at least 20 hours a week. It's intended to support gaps in your National Insurance record, caused by caring responsibilities, allowing you to still qualify for State Pension.

Many aren't aware that the support they provide for a loved one is a caregiving responsibility. One hour of care can soon turn into a full-time role as a caregiver. Carer's Credit is there for anyone whose ability to work is affected by those caregiving tasks.
