Successful new claims for Carer’s Allowance made before October 9 will also qualify for the extra money.
New statistics published by 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 £22.8 million. 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.
