    As your partner claims carers allowance, it will highly likely be included in that payment. My £10 bonus has always been included in that since i claimed it in 2017. As it's only £10 it's easy to miss. 

    Ask them to check their bank account. If they receive carers allowance weekly there would be one week of £86.75 instead of £76,75. If they receive it 4 weekly, like myself then their payment this time will be £317 instead of £307.

    For your contributions based ESA then it may also be included in one of your fortnightly payments so please check those amounts.
