Grandparent NI credits

My NI record shows I have 41 years full contributions but says I am a year short of getting a full pension in 7 years time. I have stopped work but think I can claim for looking after my granddaughter since July 2022 as her parents both work and get family allowance. Can I claim 2022/2023 in October 2023 or do I have to wait till October 2024 to claim when I can claim a full financial year for 2023/24? I am concerned the parents will go over the income threshold for claiming child benefit. TIA

There is no harm in claiming 22-23 then 23-24 if available. You could then top up the part year later if necessary. I believe the parent could still make a no payment claim just for the credits to transfer out to you.
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.
