Scottish Carer's Assistance - New Full-Time Education Rules

1.Carers who currently study for more than 21 hours per week cannot get Carer's Allowance. The Scottish Government is proposing changing this to allow carers who study full-time to access the new Carer's Assistance Payment that will replace Carer's Allowance in Scotland.

This will support carers in full-time education financially and also allow more carers to take up the option to study on a full-time basis.

Do you agree or disagree with the change that carers in full-time education will be able to get Scottish Carer's Assistance?
2.Could you please share your reasons for agreeing or disagreeing that full-time students should get Carer's Assistance Payment?
3.Do you have any other views you would like to share on the proposed payment of Carer's Assistance Payment to full-time students?
