People on Carer’s Allowance could see payments stop if they holiday outside the UK this year
There are several changes in circumstances that people receiving Carer’s Allowance must tell the Department for Work and Pensions about or risk losing their benefit entitlement. These changes include starting a job, entering or leaving full-time education, or an increase in your income.
However, additional advice on the Independent Age website also says that if you’re going abroad temporarily with the person you care for and they receive certain benefits including Personal Independence Payment , Disability Living Allowance or Attendance Allowance, the duration can be extended. Payments increased in April as part of the Uk Government's annual uprating exercise. This means that people claiming Carer’s Allowance will receive a £307.00 every four-week pay period - an increase of £28.20 from the previous rate of £278.80.
