The New State Pension System
Just a quick question on a related matter. If an individual chose to opt out of child benefit (I didn't) what happens to their 'stay at home' spouse with regard to national insurance contributions? I was under the impression that, whilst in receipt of child benefit, an individual in such a situation would have their NI paid by the government to go towards their state pension. If I opt out does that mean my wife loses out on her state pension? Or have I missed something?!
