      Hi. Can i ask a question?
      I care 24/7 for my diaabled partner since January 2020 and my partner receives PIP since January 2020. We are both in Universal Credit. I never claimed for Carer'w Allowance due to not knowing about this Benefit. I recently found out and applied.
      My question is: Can Carer's Allowance be backdated to the day i started her care, January 2020 ? Thank you!

      You're from a poor country that's acting rich. The richest in your country are purchasing hatchbacks while going online to write long explanations of how Americans drive tin cans. You're screwed man. Your NHS is a complete joke. Your economy is a mess. There aren't any technologies used worldwide that come out of your country, meaning your government will take on more debts and collect higher taxes. So you are done for sure. Brits are done.

    I pay £10.07 to BT for my landline and broadband. I’m on Universal Credit. It’s well worth applying. It’s also a simple process; just provide BT with the relevant evidence. Obviously you pay for any landline calls, but it gives you a number at least and £10.07 is a bargain for Broadband.

    • @2tuff-m4w
      @2tuff-m4w 3 месяца назад +2

      Yes but your broadband is going to be pathetic in everyway unless you just do the odd email and crap. These social tariffs are a con, you're better off with 5G internet cell phone contracts etc. Even giffgaffs payasyou go SIMs are cheaper

      @@2tuff-m4w No. I’m afraid you’re wrong; you clearly don’t have it. You only know what you’ve read somewhere and someone’s ’opinion’. BT Basic, as it’s called, is excellent. It has never failed once in any shape or context. I’ve had it since October 2021. I started off on £10.07 per month and it hasn’t shifted. My experience; my witness.

    Carers allowance is complicated - there are all kind of hacks such as legitimate work expenses that can be deducted from your pay - such as a lease car on PCP you need for your job or a mileage or meals allowance, half your pension contributions, any tax and NI etc - and also, dont forget that the earnings threshold means just that - it only counts earned income - not unearned income from, e.g., a workplace pension or income from premium bonds or investments.
    If your income rises, it is usually better to top up your pension contributions - most schemes allow this.

    People on various benefits seem better off than a lot of Pensioners! If you have done the right thing and saved for your retirement, you will have to pay for everything and get taxed on top of that! The Pension system in this country is a racket! If you get virtually only one benefit, this seems to open the door to many savings that pensioners who have saved and sacrificed cannot get, in fact they pay tax to pay benefits to people who are better off than them! The so-called 10% rise that pensioners are to receive is a ‘con’, as tax has to be paid on it and all other pensions that we have paid into. This results in a fraction over only 6% rise!
