ATTENTION CARER'S !!!
Are you providing home care for someone in need of full time assistance and getting a social welfare payment?
If so, you may be entitled to a half rate payment of Carer’s Allowance.
From 27 September 2007, if you are getting certain payment(s) from this Department and you satisfy the conditions for Carer’s Allowance, you may get half the rate of Carer's Allowance along with your existing payments. It may also be possible for you to receive half rate Carer’s Allowance in addition to someone receiving an increase for you as a qualified adult on their own payment. The qualifying conditions for receipt of the half rate Carer’s Allowance payment are exactly the same as Carer’s Allowance (
).
