Child Benefit and Pension Credits

Dhrakerd

Hi All - I need some help as this is all quite confusing

My wife and I have three kids, all which recieve child benefit.

I work and my wife didnt when the kids were small so she hasnt racked up any NI contributions from this period.

The benefit was claimed in my name as I didnt know this would impact her contributions.

We have already applied to have the CB moved over to her so she should get the credit moving forward.

We dont claim any benefits, so I was hoping to transfer the NI credits to her name from mine.

Is this possible?

You can transfer any NI credits from child benefit to her. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-insurance-credits-for-parents-and-carers-cf411a

Can't both be true!
