HRP was a scheme introduced in 1978 to protect the State Pension rights of people who stayed at home to care for children or vulnerable adults. It was replaced by National Insurance credits in 2010, but many eligible individuals missed out due to record-keeping errors.
You may be eligible if you:
According to DWP data, successful claims have led to average underpayments of around £7,800. Some individuals have received even more, depending on how many qualifying years were missed.
On average, it can take 4 to 6 months from submission to final outcome, depending on how quickly HMRC and DWP process the claim.
