Episode Details

If you raised kids between 1978 and 2010, you might be owed up to £8,377 — and it’s not just a rumor. A decades-old government glitch in how National Insurance records linked to child benefit meant thousands, mostly women, never got credit for their caregiving work. The government admits they can’t track everyone, so they’re urging you to check your own records — not wait to be contacted. Sadly, dozens who filed claims have already passed away without receiving their due. Over 370,000 letters have been sent, but only 8% responded — and some say the government’s outreach has stalled. If you’ve been on state pension for at least a year and reduced work to care for children or a sick relative, this could be a major payout you’re entitled to. Don’t ignore it — your future self (or someone you love) might be counting on it.
