Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps other than letters from HMRC he plans to take to ensure further take up of Home Responsibilities Protection.

The Government is continuing to support people who may have missing Home Responsibilities Protection to come forward. Alongside HM Revenue and Customs contacting potentially affected customers, we are undertaking regular communications encouraging people to check their National Insurance records, improving GOV.UK guidance, including information on Home Responsibilities Protection in annual State Pension uprating letters, and working with external organisations to help reach potentially eligible people.

Anyone who believes they may have missing Home Responsibilities Protection can use the online eligibility checker and make a claim through GOV.UK.
