Well CA letter has now arrived, for what it's worth.
Still as clear as mud
Say I'm entitled, but information about the award will be sent around 28th Aug.
Then waffles on about not be able to pay any CA we owe you from 10 April 23 to 27th Aug 23 without advise from local benefits office
But in the next paragraph says we will pay you four weekly around 18th September 23.
That's months away.
Is it normal to have such huge time frame gaps?

You need to contact the Carers Unit to find out what is going on because the dates you have mentioned make no sense.
