Hi all! Awarded my carers from 28/10 I am currently in receipt of income support too. I recieved the letter telling me payment will be in my account around 15th. I have just checked my bank and it says dwp CA and there is £10. I know you get a Christmas bonus when getting carers allowance but according to Gov website it would show as DWP XB . So question is is that my backdated pay?! Surely it cant be right?? Can some one reassure me please If they have a Christmas bonus and it's been pays with DWP CA and NOT DWP XB thanks

As it is £10 exactly and is not an amount that is based from CA pro rata calculation, they yes most likely Christmas bonus which has been processed.The comments I post are personal opinion. Always refer to official information sources before relying on internet forums. If you have a problem with any organisation, enter into their official complaints process at the earliest opportunity, as sometimes complaints have to be started within a certain time frame.0

As you're claiming Income Support, you won't receive the full amount of Carers Allowance backdated. You'll receive £36.85 per week backdated. which is the carers premium that's added to your Income Support. The carers allowance is deducted £1 for £1 from your Income Support.Hi all!
