Carer Allowance? Quite long. was created by Margaret
Hello

When my review comes up I can't face another medical. I am hoping I will be able to apply for CA but I don't know anything about it.

Can anyone here tell me or is there a website which will tell me the following?

1. How do I go about applying?

2. Will I have to go for an interview for my application to be considered?

3. Will I have to sign on, go for interviews etc if I receive CA even if I don't receive any other benefit?

4. How is it decided whether I am considered a part time or full time carer? (I care for my mum who receives IB and LR DLA, appeal pending for DLA).

5. Will I even be allowed to apply if the DLA for my mum was awarded months or a few years before, is there a time limit?

6. If I were to receive CA, would it be reviewed, even if my mum's DLA is indefinite?

I realise I am asking for alot of info, any info is much appreciated.

Thank you

It should be noted that to be a carer the person you are caring for should be receiving either the Middle or Higher rate of the Care Component of DLA.

Or in receipt of Attendance Allowance at either rate.
