## Resource

Did you know you might be owed thousands for years of unpaid caregiving? Between 1978 and 2010, the UK government’s Home Responsibilities Protection scheme was supposed to boost your state pension if you cared for kids or disabled loved ones — but records got mixed up, leaving hundreds of thousands, mostly women, shortchanged. Some even passed away without ever seeing a penny. Now, the government’s offering a self-check tool on GOV.UK — if you were a primary caregiver for under-16s or disabled people and received your pension for at least a year, you could be eligible for up to £8,377. Don’t wait — check your eligibility now. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
