The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has updated its new ‘easy-read’ guide to Carer's Allowance, a payment for people who spend at least 35 hours each week providing regular care to someone who has a disability or medical condition.
The guidance on the GOV.UK website, explains how you do not have to be related to, or live with the person you care for to qualify for Carer’s Allowance, however, the person you care for must be receiving certain benefits because of their condition, which in some cases has to be paid at a specific rate.
Carer's Allowance is now paid at £69.70 each week and you can choose to be paid weekly in advance or every four weeks, giving you £278.80 each payment period.
However, if you qualify for Carer’s Allowance, your other benefit payments may change, but the DWP guidance states that your total benefits will usually go up or stay the same.
When you get Carer’s Allowance, the person you care for will usually stop getting:
They may also stop getting reduced Council Tax
You cannot get the full amount of both Carer’s Allowance and your State Pension at the same time.
In the updated guidance, the DWP explains: "If you get State Pension, you can still get Carer’s Allowance if this is more than your State Pension."
If your pension is £69.70 a week or more, you will not get a Carer’s Allowance payment, but your Pension Credit payments will increase instead.
If your pension is less than £69.70 a week, you will get a Carer’s Allowance payment to make up the difference.
You might be eligible for Carer’s Credit if you’re not eligible for Carer’s Allowance.
You could get Carer’s Credit if you’re caring for someone for at least 20 hours a week.
Carer’s Credit is a National Insurance credit that helps with gaps
