There are penalties for giving wrong information
Almost one million people were recieving £69.70 per week for Carer’s Allowance across the UK in May 2022 according to the latest figures from the Department of Work and Pensions.
Failing to report certain changes could also result in someone having to pay a penalty or be taken to court. Guidance on GOV.UK warns: “You could be taken to court or have to pay a penalty if you give wrong information or do not report a change in your circumstances.
If you have been paid too much then you may have to repay the money if you did not report a change straight away, gave the wrong information or if you were overpaid by mistake.
