Carer's Credit

Did you know that if you aren't eligible for Carer's Allowance, you might be entitled to Carer's Credit?


Who is eligible? Anyone caring for one or more persons for at least 20 hours a week and not getting Carer’s Allowance. Your income, savings or investments won’t affect eligibility for Carer’s Credit.

What is provided? A National Insurance credit which could increase the amount of State Pension a part-time carer gets.
