What is the Child Benefit (Family Allowance) Correction?

People who claimed Child Benefits (Family Allowance) between 1978 and 2010 may be owed up to £7,800* due to an administrative error affecting their National Insurance record.

HMRC discovered that if you claimed Child Benefit before May 2000, your Home Responsibilities Protection (HRP) may not have been correctly recorded. HRP is a scheme that ran from 1978 to 2010 and protects your State Pension by counting time spent raising children or caring for others towards your National Insurance record.

Because many claimants didn’t have to provide their National Insurance number when claiming Child Benefits, their HRP wasn’t always applied, potentially reducing their future State Pension.
