View answerThere is no record of an application for carer’s allowance (CA) from the person concerned. However, the applicant’s partner is in receipt of CA for the provision of full-time care and attention to two of her children.
CA is in payment to her since 5 September 2013 for one child and on 16 September 2015 she was awarded CA in respect of a second child from 5 March 2015.
Payment and arrears were issued to her nominated bank account on 24 September 2015. CA is in payment at the maximum rate.
