If you think you are eligible and do not receive a letter or payment by Friday, June 16, call them free on 0800 182 2222.While it is too late to qualify for the June payment, people making a new claim for Carer’s Allowance to the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) by October 9, 2023, will be eligible for the December payment, worth £270.50.Even though DWP administers and delivers Carer’s Allowance, it has no involvement with Carer’s Allowance Supplement.
It is a devolved payment, administered by the Scottish Government and delivered by Social Security Scotland.For anyone considering making a new claim for Carer’s Allowance, the latest statistics for processing times by DWP showed that by the end of October 2022 it was taking 37 working days (just over seven weeks) to process an application from initial submission to award decision letter.However, processing times fluctuate throughout the year and it could take less or more time to get a decision.
