Regulation 14B Carer Additional Person PaymentF1
An individual is entitled to Carer Additional Person Payment for each award week in which—
Carer Support Payment is payable to the individual, and
the individual provides regular and substantial care to a person (an “additional cared for person”)—
who is not the cared for person in respect of whom they receive the Carer Support Payment referred to in sub-paragraph (a), and
to whom a qualifying disability benefit is normally payable.
An individual may be entitled to Carer Additional Person Payment in respect of more than one additional cared for person in respect of the same period.
For the purposes of paragraph (1)(b), an individual shall only be treated as being regularly and substantially engaged in caring for an additional cared for person on every day in a week if they are, or are likely to be, regularly engaged for at least 20 hours in an award week in caring for that additional cared for person.
An individual may be entitled to Carer Additional Person Payment in respect of an additional cared for person notwithstanding that another individual is entitled to—
Carer Support Payment,
Carer’s Allowance,
the carer element of Universal Credit, or
Young Carer Grant,
in respect of that additional cared for person.
The hours caring for—
a cared for person in accordance with regulation 5(2) (provision of care to a cared for person), and
one or more additional cared for persons under paragraph (3),
may run concurrently.
The care for the additional cared for person must not be provided by an individual—
under or by virtue of a contract, unless the contract is of a kind specified by regulations made under section 1(3)(a) of the Carers (Scotland) Act 2016 as not to be regarded as a contract for the purposes of that Act, or
as voluntary work done for a charity or other not-for-profit organisation for which no payment is received other than reasonable expenses.
No individual can be entitled to Carer Additional Person Payment in respect of an additional cared for person where another individual is entitled to Carer Additional Personal Payment in respect of that additional cared for person.
