NIM41345 - Home Responsibilities: what is HRP and who qualifies for it: as a carer on Income Support

The Social Security Pensions (Home Responsibilities) Regulations 1994

If a customer is:

  • receiving Income Support, but
  • does not need to register for work because they are caring for someone who is:
  • sick or disabled,
  • and receiving disability payments,

they will be awarded HRP for each complete tax year. This is done automatically and the HRP may go towards their State Second Pension.
