  • NI Credits for Parents

    My daughter was born 4 years ago however we didn't claim child benefit because I am a high earner. My wife didn't work at the time so she was not getting National Insurance credits for her state pension. She did not know that she could claim child benefits and opt to not receive the payment just to get the NI credits for her state pension in the future. Can she now apply for the NI credits for those previous years when she was not claiming child benefits? Thanks,
