WILL CARERS ALLIWANCE give me infirmation

hi again folks

I posted recently about an issue ....regarding SDP (Severe Disablement Premium)
Upon advice given I called the (DWP) jobcenter
plus, As they deal with income support

To my disbelief they say i had a Carer from August 2005 (they didn't specify an end date)

to my knowledge I had a carer ONLY from december 2011 to january 2015

I'm told i should call carers allowance to varify

I have had dealings with carers allowance in the past 4 years and was wondering will they actually give me the information requested ....as any time i've rang they only wanted to talk to the CARER not the PERSON BEING CARED FOR
as i have no history of having a previous carer how does this work????

Any advise apreciated

    You in principle do not have a direct right to know who applied for CA for you - data protection/...

    However - you should report this as fraud.
