    Hi @RedPlanet8679, welcome to our community :)  The payment date on the 28/03 was due to the  1/04 being on a bank holiday yes. Since Carers Allowance is every four weeks you should receive a payment today.  To find out why however you may have to contact the DWP.

    I'm going to move this discussion into our benefits category, incase you have any further questions. Please do ask if you have any other questions!

    If it's suspended you shouldn't have to start a new claim, who advised you that you need to do that?

    Are you sure it's a new claim form? or is it a different form for you to fill in with some information that they need. This doesn't sound right to me at all. Your carers allowance is suspended and not stopped completely.
