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, and the first lump sum of 2023 is due next month.
To be eligible for the June payment , people need to have made a claim for Carer’s Allowance to DWP by April 10, 2023. To qualify for the December payment, claims must be received by October 9, 2023. 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.
