Does anyone know about carers allowance. My mum was my sister's carer and my mum just passed away. Did the allowance go to my sister or my mum.
If my mum got the allowance the dwp will have been informed in the "tell us once."
If it goes to my sister's bank is the recipient named as carer or can she now name someone else as her carer?
I'm confused but obviously we want to get this right! It not clear on the website. Thanks in advance.
Hi Allanah, sorry to read that your mum has passed away, my deepest sympathy to you and your family.
The Carer’s Allowance would have gone to your mother and would have been paid into her bank account. As sadly your mother has passed away, your sister can get another Carer and they can apply for
Carer’s allowance if they meet the criteria.
I hope this helps! Xx
Thank you SO much. That has helped me so much. I'm pleased as it's been 5 weeks and we were worried if we had to pay back money. It's stressful enough. My aunty also died 3 weeks later and my brother and sister became I'll. so I'm grateful for your quick reply . Thanks xx
You’re very welcome, I’m sorry to read you’ve been a stressful time and yes, when you’re dealing with things, it can get forgotten. It’s highly unlikely they would have paid the CA into your sister’s
Bank Account as it always goes to the Carer. If you’re in any doubt give CA a ring to confirm. Look after yourself xx
Thank you. Families eh ...
Aww I’m so sorry to learn about your mum passing away - she was a gem xxxx
She was. ! She loved meeting you. My sister has now just said it's the carer part of dla she was talking about not carer allowance argh!@ so that's ok me and brother have taken on her " care" on the dla stuff ! Night...I've had enough ...already lol
Dear allanah.
Sorry to read of how things are for you at the moment and sorry about the loss of your mum. I tend to always encourage people to look after themselves when life is tough, but it is a hard one for you. Thinking of you and I wish you peace. 🙂🌷x
Thank you. I think her question is now, her carer that she mentioned it not by name on her dla form was my mum. It will now be my brother. Does she have to call them even tho the carers name is not mentioned on dla forms...just she gets help
...
I don't know about the CA situation. I just wanted to offer sincere condolences to you and your family on the loss of your Mum and Auntie. I also hope your brother and sister get better very soon. Hugs
Thank you so much. Been very tough especially as I stayed I Glasgow for a few weeks before mum died then had to sort the funeral and then up and down travelling 4 hrs each way to sort my sister and brother ....
That's one heck of a strain for anybody, let alone someone with RD. What a horrible, rotten, lousy situation to be in for you all. Please take good care of yourself. My thoughts are with you
And to add more..my auntie Christine died 2 weeks after mum. So we had her funeral two weeks ago .....Xx 😣
So sorry to hear your loss Allanah. Deepest sympathy to you and your family. Hugs lovely. Xx
So sorry to hear your news. I had a similar group of deaths three years ago, so I have some idea of what a dreadful time you have had to cope with. On top of the grief, there are all the practical details to sort out, when you are at your lowest ebb.
Please do make sure that you find time to look after yourself, and give yourself time to come to terms with your losses. You and your family will be in my thoughts.
Mavis xx
