Missing National Insurance Contributions
I have 1 year missing Nat Ins contributions and this was the year I gave up my job to care for my mum who had dementia. I was not a paid carer and she didn’t get an allowance apart from Pension Credit. Would I be eligible to claim for the gap?

You’re caring for one or more sick or disabled person for at least 20 hours a week Apply for Class 3 carer’s credits if you’re not on Carer’s Allowance, Carer Support Payment or Income Support Can you get a health professional to sign the form ?Do you actually need that year ?
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.

You can only claim Carer Credits for the current and previous tax year, so you would have to apply quickly for 23-24!0

Yes I could get a Doctor to sign the form, my query is as I didn’t claim Carers Allowance (I just cared for her as she was my mum) would I qualify for the missing contributions?0
