The Energy Price Cap has increased, by 10% from 1 October 2024, an increase from £1568 to £1717 per year. Please note that Ofgem’s energy price cap is not exactly what you will be charged for your usage, nor is it the maximum. Rather, it is the amount an average household can expect to pay for their energy per year.

How much is Carer Support Payment and when will it be paid? ![]()
![]()
Carer Support Payment will be paid at the same rate as Carer’s Allowance. This is currently £81.90 per week or £327.60 every 4 weeks. Can someone get Carer Support Payment if they receive other benefits? People can get Carer Support Payment at the same time as other benefits. If they get ‘meanstested’ benefits such as Universal Credit, Carer Support Payment may affect the amount they get. They’ll usually be better off overall because they can get extra amounts in these benefits for being a carer. If a carer gets ‘income replacement’ benefits such as State Pension or ‘new-style’ Employment aand Support Allowance, this may affect the amount of Carer Support Payment they can get. If their benefit is worth the same as or more than Carer Support Payment, they may have ‘underlying entitlement’. This means they will not receive any money in Carer Support Payment, but might be able to get additional benefits or top ups to existing benefits, including Pension Credit.![]()
