HRP Quick Facts
- HRP applied from 1978 to 2010.
- HRP protected parents and carers by reducing NI qualifying years.
- Corrections today can increase State Pension and trigger arrears.
- Evanshaw handles evidence, forms, and liaison with DWP/HMRC.
Build a Single, Date‑Anchored Timeline
List each tax year (1978–2010) with: country, address, caring status, and evidence codes.
This lets case‑workers see eligibility year‑by‑year at a glance.
Residence Trail to Compile (UK & Abroad)
- UK: council tax bills, tenancy/mortgage, HMRC/NI letters, NHS registration, school letters for dependants.
- Abroad: visas, residence/work permits, employment contracts, school/medical records, utilities in your name.
- Passports with entry/exit stamps where available.
Care Evidence Still Matters
- GP/consultant letters naming you as main/regular carer, with dates.
- Hospital letters, care plans, social worker notes referencing your role.
- Benefit references aligned to specific tax years.
- If Child Benefit wasn’t paid in the UK, focus on the care narrative with precise dates.
Recommended Annex Layout
- Annex A: Year‑by‑year timeline (Country • Address • Caring? • Evidence codes).
- Annex B: Residence proof indexed to years (UK & abroad).
- Annex C: Care/medical evidence, year‑matched.
- Annex D: Child Benefit claimant evidence.
- Annex E: Identity & linkage (name changes, passport stamps, address bridges).
Tip: One line per tax year with document codes beats a bundle of unlabelled papers.
Case Study
Example: A self-employed carer missed HRP because Child Benefit was in a partner’s name. After Evanshaw re-linked the record and submitted care evidence, 6 years were restored and the pension forecast rose accordingly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I still claim HRP now?
A: Yes. HRP corrections can be made today for 1978–2010 years.
Q: Does Carer’s Allowance automatically give HRP?
A: No. They are separate; HRP requires its own evidence/recording.
Q: Will this increase my State Pension?
A: Corrected years can improve your forecast and may trigger arrears.
Q: Do I need originals?
A: Keep originals safe and submit clean copies. We’ll index everything in the annex.
