Half Rate Carers Allowance if Needed

danjo-xx · 2014-02-09 21:09:09

If one partner is on SPC will they get half rate CA for the other on DA, so payments would be SPC+DA+CA and what happens if the reverse situation happens, eg. Person on DA becoming the carer.

If you are getting a social welfare payment (other than Carer’s Allowance) and caring for someone.

If you are getting one of the social welfare payments payable with half-rate Carer's Allowance (see 'Rules' below) and caring for someone, you may keep your social welfare payment and qualify for half-rate Carer’s Allowance.

You can get half-rate Carer’s Allowance with the following weekly social welfare payments:
State Pension (Contributory) and State Pension (Contributory) Increase for a Qualified Adult

If one partner is on SPC will they get half rate CA for the other on DA, so payments would be SPC+DA+CA

and what happens if the reverse situation happens, eg. Person on DA becoming the carer.
