Regulation 17 Individuals with entitlement to Carer Support in respect of whom Carer’s Allowance was paid before 6 November 2025
The Scottish Ministers are to make a determination of an individual’s entitlement to Carer Support Payment under the 2023 Regulations as they applied before 15 March 2026, without receiving an application, where—
they become aware that regulation 41B(1) (individuals with entitlement to Carer Support Payment in respect of whom Carer’s Allowance was paid before 6 November 2025) as amended by these Regulations, applies to that individual, and
the individual’s entitlement to Carer’s Allowance ceased before 15 March.
Subject to paragraph (3), where a determination is made under paragraph (1) that an individual is entitled to Carer Support Payment under the 2023 Regulations as they applied before 15 March 2026, their entitlement is to begin on the first day of the award week in which their entitlement to Carer’s Allowance ceased.
Where the individual—
does not satisfy the eligibility requirements set out in Part 3 of the 2023 Regulations as they applied before 15 March 2026 on the date referred to in paragraph (2), and
will satisfy those requirements on a date within 13 weeks of the date referred to in paragraph (2),
their entitlement begins on the first day of the award week in which they satisfy those requirements.
For the purposes of paragraphs (2) and (3), “award week” has the same meaning as in regulation 41B(5) of the 2023 Regulations.
