Carer Support Payment Resources

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. People who get Carer's Allowance don't need to apply as their awards will transfer automatically.

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 £151 per week or less on average after some deductions
● live in an area the benefit is available
