Carer's Allowance - How do I challenge a Carer's Allowance decision?

Carer's Allowance is money for people who provide regular care to someone who has a disability.

How do I challenge a Carer's Allowance decision?

If you disagree with the decision made on your Carer's Allowance claim, for example due to incorrect information being used, you can ask for it to be looked at again known as a 'mandatory reconsideration'. If you still disagree with the further decision you can then appeal to an independent tribunal.

The time limits are strict, you will usually be given one month to dispute a decision, so it is important to seek advice and act quickly.
