Carers allowance / payment help

Jue1mac

Hi everyone ☺  I've recently applied for and been awarded carers allowance.  I got a back payment ( from january) then today received 1 weeks payment. Can't seem to work out the figures to make it right lol. Any help much appreciated.

You have given no information about when you claimed and what money you have received so it’s impossible to even guess at your situation. 

Even with more information we would, to some extent, be guessing. Remember that any arrears will be at two different rates, payments prior to 11th April at last year’s rate, since then at the current rate.The arrears may also include a partial week.

You should receive a letter letter telling you when you have been awarded from and exactly what period of time the payments cover.

Have you asked to be paid weekly?

Hello @Jue1mac and welcome to the community, thanks for posting your query

Just so we understand more fully, could you tell us a bit more about the figures you've got?
