Help Social Security Scotland spread the word about Carer Support Payment amongst eligible people.
On this page you can find shareable social media content, flyers, posters and factsheets.
Social Security Scotland's Carer Support Payment replaces Carer's Allowance for people in Scotland. If you already get Carer's Allowance from DWP, you don't need to apply as your award will transfer automatically.
Carer Support Payment is being piloted now in Dundee City, Perth & Kinross and the Western Isles. It will be available in more areas from Spring 2024.
People may be eligible if they:
● are 16 or over
● provide 35 hours or more of care a week to someone of any age
who is getting certain disability benefits
● earn £139 per week or less on average after some deductions
● live in an area the benefit is available
