Home Responsibilities Protection (HRP) was a scheme to help protect parents’ and carers’ State Pension. National Insurance credits replaced HRP in 2010.
You’ll have received HRP automatically if between 6 April 1978 and 5 April 2010 you were claiming:
- Child Benefit for a child under 16
- Income Support because you were looking after a sick or disabled person and were not available for work
You’ll need to apply for HRP if you think it’s missing from your National Insurance (NI) record.
