What is National Insurance Credit?
If you’re not in paid employment, you might be able to qualify for National Insurance credits. The National Insurance credits that you receive will work to fill in the gaps in your National Insurance record and enable you to continue to receive certain benefits like Job seeker's Allowance and the State Pension.
There are two types of National Insurance credits available: Class 1 and Class 3
Why apply for National Insurance Credit?
As a married or civil partner of a member of the armed forces, accompanying them to an overseas posting after 6th April 2010, and returning to the UK you might be eligible to get national insurance credit.
