National Insurance Credit Changes
Our voices have been heard! After campaigning for all mothers to be eligible for their state pension regardless of whether they sign up to the Child Benefit or not, it is finally coming to pass!
The Government has announced a plan to address a longstanding issue which caused many mothers to fall short of a full state pension. It should soon be possible for those that missed out on credits to now be awarded them and fill gaps in their national insurance record. We await details on how this will be implemented.

Thank you to all our MAHM members and any one-off donators, we couldn’t raise these important issues without your help.
MAHM would like to see:
An economic level playing field for parents who stay at home with the option of being taxed as a household with a transferable allowance for couples or an additional person’s allowance for single parents
All mothers to be eligible for their state pension regardless of whether they sign up to the Child Benefit or not
Fair taxation for those who stay home and those who work
Childcare subsidies to follow the child, with parents able to choose whether they use it to stay home, or give it to a grandparent, childminder or external setting for care
Child benefit to be distributed fairly
