Scottish Carer's Assistance: consultation - easy read

Easy read version of the consultation on proposals for Scottish Carer’s Assistance, a new Scottish benefit which will replace Carer’s Allowance, and be delivered by Social Security Scotland.


What is this consultation about?

We are designing a new benefit for carers in Scotland. This will replace the Carer's Allowance benefit. We need to make sure it has the same links with other benefits that Carer's Allowance has now.

Carer's Allowance is a benefit for people who spend 35 hours or more each week caring for someone who gets a disability benefit. It is £67.60 a week.

We would like to hear your views on how Scottish Carer's Assistance could be different from Carer's Allowance.
