The DWP benefit is worth more than £300 a year and unpaid carers can be affected
Millions are being encouraged to apply for a lesser-known Department for Work and Pensions benefit that could increase their state pensions. Households could see their state pension boosted by up to £328 annually by claiming this little-known DWP benefit.
Mobilise, a community supporting unpaid carers, is calling on the nation's 10 million carers to apply for 'carer's credit' to ensure they receive the full new state pension. Suzanne Bourne, a care expert at Mobilise, commented: "If you start work at 21 and stop working at 51 to care for your partner, you will only receive a partial state pension when you turn 66.""This could come as a huge shock and could have been avoided with the carer's credit.
