I have just been reading a thread on claiming Pension. It struck me that grans may not know that you can claim NI credits if you provide childcare for a child under 12. It was pure luck that someone told me about this and I was able to claim for some recent years When I
had insufficient credits. You have to claim before you get your pension.
Information on the gov.co..uk site
This is the page which gives information. Hope this is useful to somebody.
