More than 84,800 people providing unpaid care could be due the first Carer Support Allowance payment of 2024.
Tens of thousands of people claiming Carer’s Allowance will receive one-off payments for £288.60 in June and December this year. Carer’s Allowance Supplement is an automatic payment made twice each year by the Scottish Government to recognise the important contribution made by unpaid carers.
The latest figures from the DWP show that in August last year 84,896 people were receiving Carer’s Allowance. From August it will extend to Fife, Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Moray, and North, East and South Ayrshire and be available in the rest of Scotland in November. Carer Support Payment is only available to new claimants - people already receiving Carer’s Allowance from the Department for Work and Pensions will not be affected by the rollout and will have their current award transferred over to Social Security Scotland in stages.
If you move from Carer's Allowance to Carer Support Payment, you can also choose to be paid weekly instead of every four weeks. Latest Benefits News Carer Support Payment rollout timetable Backdated payments The new regulations also now include special backdating rules. This means that carers who are not getting Carer’s Allowance but are eligible for Carer Support Payment can have their payments backdated to the date Carer Support Payment first became available. This stops carers missing out on money they are entitled to because they live in an area included in the later phases of the rollout.
