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 are we doing?
Scottish Carer's Assistance will replace Carer's Allowance in Scotland. Carer's Allowance is a benefit. People getting Carer's Allowance may be less able to work because they are caring for someone.
People who are carers can also get extra amounts in other benefits because they get Carer's Allowance. These are mainly paid by the Department for Work and Pensions, like Income Support and Universal Credit.
This means we need to think carefully about changes to our new benefit. We want to make sure that carers can keep getting the extra money they get from other benefits.
