I`ll pass on the great although not good information .

So the NI credits awarded during them claiming carers allowance count towards nothing apart from their state pension eligibility?

You can get Carer's credit  worth having a look at  I did not know about it it helps you get your NI credits.

They would count towards new style ESA if that was applicable and Maternity Allowance.

These are for if someone is caring for someone between 20-35 hours per week, not enough to receive Carers Allowance. The NI credits are the same as those awarded for actually receiving CA, so still would not entitle someone to new-style JSA.

What about getting a job as a carer.
