This means that since 2010 it has increased from £53.90 to £69.70 a week, providing an additional £800 a year for carers through Carer\u2019s Allowance. Real terms expenditure on Carer\u2019s Allowance in 2022/23 is forecast to be £3.4bn and between 2022/23 and 2026/27 is forecast to increase by just over a third (around £1.2 billion).

The £650 Cost of Living payment is being targeted at low income households who are in receipt of a means-tested income replacement benefit.
