Claims made before October 9 could be eligible for the Carer’s Allowance Supplement.
The latest statistics from Social Security Scotland show that more than 84,000 people received Carer’s Allowance Supplement payments of £270.50 in June, worth a total of £22.8million. The devolved payment is made twice each year to people in Scotland in receipt of Carer’s Allowance on specific dates in April and October.
Tens of thousands of people could receive the money, which is paid separately by Social Security Scotland from the weekly Carer’s Allowance payments of £76.70 made by the Department for Work and Pensions . Nobody can apply directly for the Carer’s Allowance Supplement, the money is paid automatically to those on Carer’s Allowance - new claims to DWP are currently being processed in just over 15 working days, on average.
Social Security Scotland writes to eligible carers in advance so they know when to expect a payment. 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 - full details can be fond on GOV.UK here.
