Benefits for carers have changed in Scotland. Carer support payment provides essential financial support and gives carers access to additional payments if they care for more than one person or are on a low income. The choices for people to maximise their household income can be complicated, particularly for disabled carers, but also for carers who want to combine their caring role with education or work. Good advice is key to helping carers take up all their opportunities and entitlements. In this course, you will learn how the payments in Scotland work, how they fit with universal credit and how to maximise incomes for carers.
