Hi my partner has been waiting just over 6 weeks and not heard back from carers allowance yet. Is it worth him giving them a call for a update just to see where we are at? 

The last time he spoke to them they said we was with a assessor and that was about 10 days ago 

thanks

    Hi my partner just phoned them and the women took details and asked him some questions and said she’s going to try get us a decision today or tomorrow so we should expect a letter in a week. 

    So I suppose we will just see as I know it might take them longer
