Carer\u2019s Allowance (CA) provides a measure of financial support and recognition for people who give up the opportunity of full-time employment in order to provide regular and substantial care for a severely disabled person. In order for CA to be paid, the disabled person must be in receipt of a \u201cgateway benefit\u201d which includes the daily living component of Personal Independence Payment (PIP).<\/p>

<\/p>

Once a claim to Personal Independence Payment for the disabled person has been awarded, CA may be backdated to the date payment started. In order to have a claim to CA backdated, it must be made within three months of the decision on the disability benefit claim, and the qualifying conditions for CA must be satisfied throughout the past period.<\/p>

<\/p>

Since 2010 the rate of CA has increased from £53.90 to £62.70 a week, meaning an additional £450 a year for carers. In April 2018, a further increase to £64.60 is planned. This will mean that since 2010, the rate of CA will have increased by over £550 a year. Carers also have access to the full range of social security benefits according to their circumstances.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4071", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sarah Newton"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Truro and Falmouth"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Sarah Newton"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-01-25", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-01-25T16:34:06.817Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "29"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-01-17", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Personal Independence Payment: Carers"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment her Department has made of the effect of personal independence payments assessments on carers of people with disabilities.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4666", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dr Paul Williams"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Stockton South"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Dr Paul Williams"} ], "uin" : "123200"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/824401", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/824401/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The proposal for the United Kingdom to move to the upper quartile of comparator countries for the uptake of innovative medicines by 2023 was a strategic goal of the Life Science Industrial Strategy report to the Government by Sir John Bell. The Government supports the ambition to maximise the appropriate use of uptake of innovative treatments in the National Health Service, and work is currently underway to develop appropriate metrics to support this. Current metrics on the use of medicines in the UK compared to other countries is published annually in the Office for Life Sciences, Life Science Competitiveness Indicators using a methodology devised by the Office for Health Economics and data of medicine use from IQVIA. The indicator compares the average per capita level of uptake compared to other Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4067", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Steve Brine"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Winchester"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Steve Brine"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-01-25", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-01-25T12:20:22.82Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-01-17", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Medical Treatments: Innovation"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the effect on the public purse of the UK entering the top quartile of comparator countries for the speed of adoption and overall uptake of innovative treatments.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/104", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Crispin Blunt"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Reigate"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Crispin Blunt"} ], "uin" : "123207"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/824408", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "HM Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/824408/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The government has consulted extensively since 2016 on Making Tax Digital. This included an initial 13 week consultation in the second half of 2016 on the core design of Making Tax Digital for VAT, followed by a consultation on an overview of the proposed VAT regulations between September and November 2017. A third period of technical consultation on the draft regulations was launched in December 2017. The consultation will run for 8 weeks.<\/p>

<\/p>

HM Revenue and Customs has engaged proactively with stakeholders to raise awareness of the consultations. The draft regulations take into account representations from stakeholders following the previous consultation.<\/p>
