What is the Carer's Allowance Supplement
The Carer's Allowance (CA) Supplement is a twice-yearly payment made by Social Security Scotland. It is made to people who are living in Scotland and getting a payment of Carer's Allowance on a set date.
It is a temporary payment, until Carer's Allowance is replaced by a new Scottish benefit. It has been introduced to quickly increase the amount of Carer's Allowance paid to carers in Scotland.
