The earnings limit for Carer Support Payment will increase from £151 to £196 a week from 01 April 2025. This means that a carer can earn £45 more a week, after tax, National Insurance and other expenses, and be eligible for the payment.
To receive Carer Support Payment carers also need to be providing 35 hours or more of care a week to someone who receives a disability benefit.
The change could enable more unpaid carers earning a take home pay of £10,192 or less a year, to access the additional support of £83.30 per week.
