Home Responsibility Protection

I rang National Insurance helpline as I’m short of national insurance credit and understand I can claim Home Responsibility Protection for years when I didn’t work but claimed child benefit and my child was under 12 years. They (NI) rang child benefit helpline whilst I was on the phone but child benefit say their online records don’t go back that far. I’m looking for credit for 1988/1989 tax year. So how do I claim it if the records don’t go back that far?

Hi,

You can use the on-line eligibility checker on GOV.UK and if you meet the qualifying conditions make an application for HRP (Home Responsibility Protection ) with any necessary documents required for your circumstances.

Why do you want to apply for Home Responsibilities Protection (HRP)?
