Backdating claim for NI Credits - possible ?

Options
I am receiving NI credits based on a non-paying ESA claim.
I was put in the support group
I was wondering what the rules said about backdating this claim (and associated NI credits) since I am still over 7 years short to be paid a full state pension in 7 years time.....


"Claims for some credits can be backdated for many years; one credit (sometimes nicknamed ‘grandparents credits’) can be backdated nearly a decade, whilst another (for military spouses) can be claimed all the way back to the mid 1970s"

Does this also apply in my claim ?
I was working for 10 years, earning just £90 per week - so was not earning enough to receive any NI credits but was unaware of the rules / availability of credits at the time (otherwise I would have been receiving credits)



If I was half as smart as I think I am - I'd be twice as smart as I REALLY am.
