Good Evening everyone
Would anyone be able to advise what the current waiting time is to receive a response from the DWP in respect of an application for Carers Allowance - I applied just short of 6 weeks ago.
Thank You!
Hi Ashley.
6 weeks and counting ?
Nothing flagged up on an Internet search other than similar questions on other forums … MumsNet and Scope …
one forum member mentioned 14 weeks ( September 2019 ) … and counting.
( MumsNet ? Purely picked up through a search … no way would I venture into that den … even as Christine ! )
Carers Unit contact numbers :
Telephone : 0800 731 0297
Textphone : 0800 731 0317
Rest assured … once granted , the eventual payment will be back dated.
( I assume that you are not infected by Universal Credit on your manor … yet ? )
Thank You very much for your speedy reply
Speedy ?
At my age ?
At least my fingers still work … occasionally.
Sometimes , with my brain in coordination.
