Does anyone know if CA will automatically start to apply Carer’s Credits, if a CA claim is declined due to earnings being too high?

I know the official procedure is for the carer to complete a Carer’s Credit application form, but wondered if in practice CA will start to apply credits without the CC application form being completed (in a similar way to ESA apps/LCW credits)?

Many thanks
