Yes I learnt about it after I had claimed my pension. Could also have claimed as a Forces wife when EH was serving overseas with me on an accompanied tour. They keep this very quiet, until of course it’s too late to claim anything.

Legal, pensions and money
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.
