Can claiming child benefit protect your state pension?
Answers (1)
The quick answer is 'yes, you can' if you have a child under age of 12 and your income is below National Insurance contribution limits.
For each week you claim child benefit, you can qualify for National Insurance credits and Earnings Factors credits to protect your basic State Pension and State Second Pension.
