The Scottish Government is proposing a “special one-off” payment of £230.10 for unpaid carers. The proposal must be approved by the Scottish Parliament in the next batch of emergency legislation, and would see a £19.2 million investment to support 83,000 carers. It would be added as an addition to Carer’s Allowance. Carers Scotland has called for additional support for unpaid carers, who have had to take on more responsibilities during this crisis.
