answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/02/2020 answer text <p>This Government recognises and values the vital contribution made by carers in supporting some of the most vulnerable in society.</p><p>The Government is supporting carers in a number of ways, including through the benefit system. The rate of Carer’s Allowance, the main social security benefit for carers, has increased from £53.90 in 2010 to £66.15 a week, meaning an additional £635 a year for carers since 2010. Subject to Parliamentary approval, Carer’s Allowance will further increase to £67.25 a week in April 2020. By 2023/24, we are forecast to spend £3.7 billion a year on Carer’s Allowance.</p><p> </p><p>The Government also provides targeted financial support for carers on low incomes through means-tested benefits, including Pension Credit and Universal Credit. Subject to Parliamentary approval, in April 2020, the associated carer premia in means-tested benefits will increase from £36.85 to £37.50 a week; and the carer element in Universal Credit will increase from £160.20 to £162.92 per monthly assessment period. These amounts recognise the additional contribution and responsibilities associated with caring and mean that these benefits can be paid to carers at a higher rate than those without caring responsibilities.</p><p> </p><p>A table of proposed benefit rates for 2020/2021 was deposited in the House libraries on 29 November 2019. <a href="http://data.parliament.uk/DepositedPapers/Files/DEP2019-1077/Proposed_benefit_and_pension_rates_28_Nov_2019.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/business-papers/commons/deposited-papers/</a></p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 10/02/2020 17:32:33 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson
