Nearly 90,000 carers in Scotland are due the devolved December payment.
More than 88,600 people in Scotland claiming Carer’s Allowance or Carer Support Payment should have received a one-off payment of £288.60 on Friday, December 6. However, anyone expecting the devolved Carer’s Allowance Supplement payment who did not receive it, can now report it ‘missing’ to Social Security Scotland .
To qualify for the December payment, people need to have been in receipt of either Carer’s Allowance from the Department for Work and Pensions , or the devolved Carer Support Payment from Social Security Scotland, on October 7, 2024. Carer Support Payment is a payment of £81.90 per week and is also available to some carers in education. This includes full-time students aged 20 or over and students under 20 in advanced or higher education.
PIP and ADP News Backdated payments As part of the roll out, new backdating rules were introduced meaning that some carers - mostly full-time students - living in the new areas such as Glasgow or Edinburgh, can apply to have their payments backdated to when Carer Support Payment was first introduced.
The deadline for carers living in the new areas - Argyll and Bute, Clackmannanshire, Dumfries and Galloway, East Dunbartonshire, East Lothian, East Renfrewshire, Edinburgh, Falkirk, Glasgow, Highland, Inverclyde, Midlothian, Orkney Islands, Renfrewshire, Scottish Borders, Shetland Islands, Stirling, West Dunbartonshire and West Lothian, is February 2, 2025.
If you get Carer Support Payment, it will not affect the qualifying benefit the person you care for gets. But it could affect other benefits that you and the person you care for get. If you live with a partner, it could also affect their benefits.
