Home Responsibilities Protection (HRP)
The HRP scheme may help you if you do not qualify for CA but you are regularly caring, throughout a tax year, for someone on Disability Living Allowance at the highest or middle rate of care component or Attendance Allowance (at either rate) or Constant Attendance Allowance for at least 35 hours a week. It helps to protect your basic State Pension position, and bereavement benefits for your husband, wife or civil partner. Form CF411 How to protect your State Retirement Pension if you are looking after someone at home gives more information. You can get it from your Jobcentre Plus office, or Pension Centre. Women with reduced liability for NI contributions cannot qualify for HRP.
