Caring Requirements

This chapter is about the caring requirement for Carer Support Payment.

Carer Support consists of the components Carer Support Payment, Scottish Carer Supplement, and Carer Additional Person Payment.

Scottish Carer Supplement is paid automatically for any week where Carer Support Payment is payable, so does not have its own separate caring requirement. 

The caring requirements for Carer Support Payment and Carer Additional Person Payment are set out in the sections below.
