I finished work on 30th June, and claimed Carer's Allowance on 1st July. I expected to wait many weeks before my claim was accepted. I thought it would be because my DH gets indefinite Attendance Allowance, and I have absolutely no income.
Yesterday one week's Carer's Allowance was paid into my account. I'm very grateful but I asked for four weekly payments, I haven't had a letter and only 10 days have gone by since my claim.
I feel very confused. Do you think I should ring them and find out what's going on?
