If there’s money owed you will receive it. You should receive a decision letter with all the details. If you can’t wait for that then you will need to ring carers allowance to ask.

Thank you so I got the weekly normal payment but not the backdated money will that come separately please

Yes separately. Although i would expect money owed to be paid before the regular payments but because you're being paid weekly then it could be different. If you want to know for sure then as i advised you'll either need to wait for the letter or ring them.
