<p>I refer the honourable member to the answer my colleague, Chloe Smith, the Minister
for Disabled People gave on 20 April 2022 to question UIN <a href="https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2022-04-14/154461"
target="_blank">154461</a></p><p> </p><p>It should be noted that Carer’s Allowance
is a devolved benefit in Scotland. However, while the Scottish Government builds its
capacity to deliver a replacement, DWP Ministers have agreed that the Department should
continue to administer Carer’s Allowance on behalf of the Scottish Ministers under
an Agency Agreement, on the same basis as it is administered in England and Wales.</p>
