Applications open for £500 payment to unpaid carers
--
The application process is now open for a one-off £500 payment to eligible unpaid carers in Wales.
The Welsh Government scheme, administered by Pembrokeshire County Council, is open to all unpaid carers in Wales who were in receipt of Carers Allowance on 31 March 2022.
The payment is in recognition of the increased financial pressures many unpaid carers experienced during the Covid-19 pandemic and to help with some of the additional costs they have incurred.
The payment is targeted towards those individuals who care for someone for at least 35 hours a week and have low incomes.
You will not be eligible for the payment if:
You have an underlying entitlement to Carers Allowance but do not receive a payment because you are in receipt of another benefit at the same or higher rate; or
You only receive the carer premium
Applications are open now. The deadline is 5pm on 15th July 2022.
Payments for successful claims will be made from June.
How to apply
Applicants (this should be the person in receipt of carer’s allowance) are required to complete the online form at:
