Carer allowance delays

Is there anything that can be done to speed up a carer’s allowance decision?

I am full time carer to my son and applied for an allowance in June. My previous employer unexpectedly paid me some accrued holiday so my application was declined. This was disputed at the start of July and still nothing. I ring every week and they say they cannot give a timescale.

In disbelief that it can take this long.

You could ask to escalate the case, but for claims that aren’t straightforward, it isn’t an unusual timescale.
