Carer's Allowance
(asked on 10th December 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what is the (1) average, and (2) maximum time that payment of carer's allowance is withheld during a financial review.
This question was answered on 18th December 2018
Carer’s Allowance claims do not involve a formal financial review. There will be occasions where payment is suspended whilst investigations into a particular aspect of the claim take place. How long suspensions last will depend on each individual case and are often dependent upon how quickly the carer can provide the additional information requested.
