Simply being a carer does not automatically disqualify you from receiving the DWP or HMRC Cost of Living Payment
The Department for Work and Pensions and HM Revenue and Customs will be paying out £300 to millions of people throughout the first half of November.
Millions of DWP benefit claimants have already received their £300 payment since the start of November, while those who exclusively claim benefits from HMRC will have begun receiving their payment today . Before a carer checks their eligibility for the second Cost of Living Payment, it's important to clarify what specific benefits qualify.
Does Carer's Allowance qualify for the Cost of Living Payment? If you are a carer, you may be receiving £76.75 a week in Carer's Allowance payments. This payment is given to those who care for someone at least 35 hours a week while they receive certain benefits such as Personal Independence Payment or Disability Living Allowance.
However, this doesn't mean carers are completely excluded from the Cost of Living Payment. Carers can still receive other benefits and Tax Credits while receiving Carer's Allowance, including the aforementioned above.
