Its sad @Struth having to look after your wife for 25yrs and then have the worry not knowing if you have the credits for a measly £185 a weak state pension. I would like to think you will get pension credit and any help that goes with it.
I’m lucky in that respect getting enough credits before I was taken ill and claiming employment benifits, but the worry of having a disabled/special need daughter later on in life through a second marriage, a mortgage albeit small and my wife unable to work due to it being 24hr care for our daughter is scary and I have another 10yrs to go before pension age.
