More than 83,000 carers in Scotland will this year get an extra £452.40 in Carer's Allowance Supplement as a result of Scottish Government spending.

The supplement was introduced by the Scottish Government last year and this year it will increase by 2.4%. The majority of carers will get their next payment on 24 June. The increase means that carers in Scotland will receive £452.40 more this year than equivalent carers in the rest of the UK.
