Carer's Credit

People who provide care for one or more disabled people for a total of 20 hours or more each week, and who do not receive Carer’s Allowance, can now claim a Carer’s Credit. The credit will help to protect a carer’s National Insurance record to ensure there are no gaps from having to undertake caring responsibilities.

Details and guidance can be found on the DWP website at http://tinyurl.com/y4qzx68
