answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/01/2023 answer text <p>Home Responsibilities Protection (HRP) was available between 1978 and 2010. For people reaching State Pension age before 6 April 2010, HRP reduced the number of Qualifying Years needed for a basic State Pension. Each year of HRP reduced the required number of years for a full basic State Pension by one year.</p><p> </p><p>Since 2010, Home Responsibilities Protection has been replaced by National Insurance Credits for Parents and Carers. For people reaching State Pension age after 6<sup>th</sup> April 2010, all recorded previous years of HRP have been converted into years of National Insurance credits. For the basic and new State Pension, Qualifying Years of National Insurance credits have equal value to those of National Insurance contributions.</p> answering member constituency Sevenoaks answering member printed Laura Trott question first answered 18/01/2023 11:38:46 answering member 4780 label Biography information for Laura Trott

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/12/2022 answer text <p>DWP does not make such assessments. The UK State Pension is payable worldwide to those who meet the qualifying conditions. Entitlement is based on an individual’s national insurance record. The policy on up-rating UK State Pensions overseas is long-standing and has been supported by successive post-war Governments for over 70 years. We continue to up-rate UK State Pensions abroad where there is a legal requirement to do so – for example where there is a reciprocal agreement that provides for up-rating. There are no plans to change this policy.</p> answering member constituency Sevenoaks answering member printed Laura Trott grouped question UIN 104252 104272 question first answered 14/12/2022 12:14:39 answering member 4780 label Biography information for Laura Trott
