    You can ask for Carer's Allowance to be paid weekly or 4 weekly.

    Income Support is paid fortnightly but it is in arrears
  • if your finding budgeting your money hard you can write to you local income support office to have your payment changed from 2 or 4 weekly to weekly but its at the dicision makers discretion they dont have to do it, the same with carers normally a top up paid 4 weekly you can request 2 weekly payments weekly by letter request detailing your problems, again its down the decision maker discretion as to grant this.
  • My husbands Carers allowance is paid weekly and Income Support has just been changed this week from weekly to every2 weeks.

    Hope this helps.
