Carers Allowance Quarterly Statistics: November 2004
Carers Allowance (previously Invalid Care Allowance)
Carers Allowance (CA) is a non-contributory benefit for men and women:
- who look after a severely disabled person for at least 35 hours a week
- who are eligible before their 65th birthday (condition removed as from October 2002)
- who are not gainfully employed (ie not earning more than £79 per week after certain deductions) and
- who are not in full-time education
The severely disabled person must be getting either
- The highest or middle rate of DLA care component, or
- AA, or
- Constant Attendance Allowance paid at the normal maximum rate or above under the War Pensions or Industrial Injuries Scheme.
Someone who gets CA can have extra money added on for their dependants. The statistics for all tables are based on a 100% extract from the CA computer system. All figures have been rounded to the nearest five.
