Class 3 National Insurance (NI) Credits are awarded to those in receipt of Universal Credit (UC). Where UC recipients are also in work or are entitled to NI credits on other grounds, His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs will undertake any relevant reconciliation where a mixture of credits have been received.

The full list of credits is listed on Gov.UK - National Insurance credits: Overview - GOV.UK
