Hi, have been receiving Carer's Allowance with an increase called the Adult Dependency Increase. We are in our 50's and have just been told that the ADI of our carers allowance is stopping on 5 April. I know that the ADI paid to people in receipt of Pension credit was stopping in April but does the stoppage affect those not receiving Pension based benefits? Thank you in advance for any advice on this.

Thanks @ woodbine. I was aware that ADI was stopped for new claimants in 2010.
My question is whether ADI of Carers Allowance is being stopped for claimants receiving ESA (IB). I understand that its stopping for people receiving Pension Credit.
Thanks0 -

Hi @1965zulu. Thank you. Yes I discovered that all Adult Dependency increases paid in any benefit stopped on 5 April. Initially I thought it referred to pension credit payments but it refers to all benefits. Hope you get yours sorted out. Thanks for replying.0
