The Carer's Allowance is £83.30 per week as of April 2025, which amounts to £4,331.60 annually. This allowance supports those who spend at least 35 hours a week caring for someone who receives certain disability benefits. The earnings limit to qualify for Carer's Allowance is up to £196 per week after allowable deductions. The allowance is taxable and can affect other benefits one might receive. It is paid directly into a bank or building society account and can be backdated up to three months. Only one person can claim Carer's Allowance per cared-for individual, and no extra money is given if caring for more than one person.
