Hi i am new to this. I have been caring for my sister since june. I applied for carers allowence i recived a letter today stating i have been awarded but they need more payment details before payments are made. I have rang them straight away and they just needed to know if i received and sick pay in my last 2 wages from work. I didnt and they said it will get dealt with today hopefully. Does anyone know how long it will take to receive a payment. Tia
Hi Kayleigh.
Time between application and payment could be several weeks depending on their workload.
Once approved , will be back dated to the date they received your application.
Only fly in the ointment might be your earnings ... £ 123 weekly limit ... over that and NO CA !
So , when the payment is received , try synchronizing it with your earnings to ensure no gap ?
