Anyone know how to call DWP to check on progress on a Carers Allowance application?

Is there a general helpline or one specifically for CA?

It is now 8 weeks since they received my application and I am slowly going mad...

So, the number is: 0800 731 0297

The first message you get is that there is a long wait at the moment for assessments and they are taking up to 8 weeks. So don't bother us until then.

As I have been waiting 8 weeks, I stayed on the line.

Long wait for an advisor, but finally spoke to someone. Quite helpful. I am still being assessed and my stuff is with a caseworker. Possibly 2 more weeks.

This waiting drives us all mad!
