Specified Adult Child Care

I have recently read an article in Saga magazine, which interested me.
My husband gave up work when he was 55 for personal reasons. He has never claimed any benefits as it was his choice. He is 64 now and recently had a government pension forecast. He does not have his full quota of contributions.
On reading this article which was entitled Grandparents claim for childminding, I realised that he would be entitled to claim NI contributions for the time that he looked after our Granddaughter which enabled our daughter to go back to work.
I found the link on the government HMRC site, have completed the forms.
My problem is, I cannot find the address to send it to. I have looked everywhere, tried to phone the number given but recorded questions do not fit my problem.
Does anyone know where I should send it to?
Keep on trucking!

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    MrsM (or me !) has saved just under £3K in class 3 contributions :D :money:

    A pity Martin does not make more of a point of this way of boosting SP.

    Hello, I see that another poster has sent you the link.
    I had never heard of it until I saw the article in Saga magazine.
    Keep on trucking!
