200,000 families risk missing out as the 'wrong' parent claims child benefit
Around 200,000 families risk one parent missing out on national insurance credits – and potentially losing £1,000s from their future state pension – because the higher earner in the couple claims child benefit, new data shows. Here's how to check if your family is affected, and transfer national insurance credits across if needed.Source: https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/2019/11/200-000-families-higher-earner-child-benefit-/
Worth checking to make sure you are not missing out.
As an individual I stood alone.
As a member of a group I did things.
As part of a community I helped to create change!
