The extra DWP £270 a month payment - plus Christmas bonus - many don't realise they're entitled to
As we approach the Christmas period, members of the public have been warned that this will be one of the most difficult winters in years due to the soaring cost of energy bills.
The Department for Work and Pensions can award carers an additional £69.70 a week - equal to £278 a month, or over £3,000 a year. In order to qualify for Carer's Allowance, the claimant must be at least 16 years of age and spends a minimum of 35 hours a week caring for someone.Furthermore, the claimant must also live in England, Scotland, or Wales and have earnings of £132 a week or less, after tax, National Insurance and expenses.
If a person shares caring duties with someone else, only one of the carers can claim the Allowance. Additionally, Carer's Allowance can only be claimed once, even if the claimant is caring for more than one person.
