Slight improvement to Carer's Allowance.

In the past I've tried to encourage people to Claim Carer's Allowance at the same time as the person they were caring for, claimed DLA. Although CA would not have been awarded until the DLA award was finalised doing this would enable full backdating of both CA and DLA, to take place should the DLA be awarded after appeal or reconsideration.
Now, providing the Carers claims CA within 3 months of a qualifying DLA award being made full backdating is permitted.
This is better as the previous arrangement meant full backdating only applied to Carers who had been properly advised and adversly affected the ordinary naive carer.
