This supplement is a yearly payment to help with the cost of caring for a person. You might be able to get this payment if you get a Carer Payment or a Carer Allowance.

This payment provides income support if you can’t work because you care for someone. You might be able to get this payment if you provide constant care in a private home for someone with a severe disability or severe medical condition or who is frail and elderly, and if you aren’t away from them for more than 25 hours a week to work.
