Hi Alan Jones,
If you are applying for specified adult care credits before your state pension age they will be processed when they are applicable to the tax year that you apply for.
If that date is past your state pension age when they are processed the pension will not be backdated.
If you wish to ensure you receive the full state pension there is the option to pay voluntary national insurance before you reach state pension age.
If you do decide to pay voluntary national insurance on any tax year you apply and are awarded the transfer of credits, if you contact us to tell us you are paying voluntary
national insurance for that very reason and you are awarded the transfer of credits once they are processed, we will refund the voluntary national insurance you paid to ensure
you received the full state pension before you reached state pension age.
Please ensure you check with the Department for Work and Pensions that the tax years will increase you pension accordingly.
Voluntary National Insurance
Thank you.
