Carers allowance has now changed to Carer Support Payment for all claimants in Scotland.

If you live in Scotland

If you get Carer's Allowance and live in Scotland, you do not need to apply for Carer Support Payment. Your benefit will move to Carer Support Payment. This is happening between February 2024 and spring 2025.

When the move begins, you'll get letters from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and Social Security Scotland.
