New claims for Carer's Allowance made before next week could also qualify for extra £245 this summer
03.04.2023 - 12:29 / dailyrecord.co.uk
More than 81,000 people in receipt of Carer’s Allowance received an extra payment for £245.70 in December 2022 as part of a unique benefit only available in Scotland. Carer’s Allowance Supplement is a devolved payment delivered twice each year to eligible claimants.
Even though Carer’s Allowance is a benefit delivered by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), the supplement is administered by Social Security Scotland, on behalf of the Scottish Government. The payments of £245.70 are made automatically to people who are in receipt of the benefit on two specific qualifying dates throughout the year.
To be eligible for the June payment, people will need to have made a claim for Carer’s Allowance to DWP by Monday, April 10, 2023. To qualify for the December payment, claims must be received by October 9, 2023 - the second qualifying date has still to be confirmed on MyGov.Scot.
For anyone considering making a new claim for Carer’s Allowance, the latest statistics for processing times by DWP showed that by the end of October 2022 it was taking 37 working days to process an application from initial submission to award decision letter.
However, processing times fluctuate throughout the year and it could take less or more time to get a decision. Payments can be backdated by up to three months.
Check below to make sure you’re not missing out on additional support if you provide care for a friend or family member for at least 35 hours each week.
You may be eligible for weekly Carer’s Allowance payments of £76.75 (from April 10) if you, the person you care for and the type of care you provide meets certain criteria.
You do not have to be related to, or live with, the person you care for.
