carers allowance
can carers allowance no longer be awarded pending a claim for PiP?
I received an email advising that partner cant receive CA as PIP has ended.
No renewal form was issued and we have been advised that claim will take 15/16 weeks to be assessed.
when did the fact that you are caring for someone prevent you from claiming CA?
Carers Allowance has never been payable unless PIP/DLA is in payment.
You can claim Income Support as a carer pending the outcome of a PIP claim.
sorry Victor, that’s what I meant to ask, need a coffee..
