<p>There is a statutory annual review of benefit and pensions undertaken in the Autumn.
The level of Carer’s Allowance is protected by up-rating it each year in line with
the Consumer Prices Index. Since 2010, the rate of Carer’s Allowance has increased
from £53.90 to £76.75 a week, providing just under an additional £1200 a year for
carers through Carer’s Allowance.</p><p>The outcome of the Secretary of State for
Work and Pensions’ review for 2023 will be announced later this year, following the
publication of the relevant indices by the Office for National Statistics, and the
new rates will enter into force from April 2024.</p>
