    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.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
