So did i, but maybe someone forgot (which i very much doubt, but doesn’t hurt to put out a reminder).
Current: SEAT Ateca Xcellence Lux 1.5 TSI DSG MY19
On Order: VW Golf GTE PHEV DSG MY23Always forgot all about it, taking Mrs aj to the dentist now too, typical thanks for the heads up though…
Sorry anyone know where to apply, what do I need ant seem to find it on gov.
On your local council website, if you live in wales.
Here’s all the info.

Awaiting Moderation…

Yeah forgot to login, my bad – one would think that by now i’d know.
Good to hear.

If I remember correctly @ajn I think it was you first to mention it a while back thinking it was UK wide but when I looked into it it was for Wales only. I believe Scotland do something similar every year, but not much use if your in England unfortunately
My mrs had a letter through last week saying you can apply on our local council website from today.
Correct kezo, it was mentioned however I thought it was you, age catching up with me I guess lol..
Anyway Thanks again all totally forgot about it, hopefully helps more here too..
An In good old England we get sweet FA. Well done Wales.

Makes me feel bad both for carers in England, and for getting at least some support from the government.

Someone mentioned it before me can’t fully remember who though thought it was you lol, then I mentioned it when it first appeared on our council website. The plot thickens 🙂
All carers in the UK should get this payment Joss, I think it’s wrong for it not to be happening..

I fully agree with you @ajn and it should be a yearly payment (as Ive heard Scotland gets) For the pittance carers get in respect to what it would cost the local authority for there services to undertake it.
I also think free prescriptions should be free UK wide.
To all
I dare say if a labour government where in place, then it may well have been different in England. I hate Devolution…

I’m on the opposite side of that, i think devolution is good. Instead of being mad at devolution, you should be mad at people responsible for the situation in england.
Don’t mistake contempt for carers/disabled people in england as a flaw in devolved governments. It’s a flaw in Tories. I’m not going to go all politics in here, but the very fact remains that Tories have shown nothing but utter contempt towards the poor, now with another suggestion that “if the cost of living crisis hits you hard, do more hours or get a better paid job” – next to the incredibly condescending comment of Anderson, suggesting that we’re all too stupid to deal with it because you can cook meals for 30p a day.
There’s plenty of things i disagree with, in regards to Drakeford. But fact of the matter is, Labour has shown to at least give a fleeting thought towards the struggling – something that’s entirely absent from Tories. For fairness though: i don’t think Corbyn would’ve been great for the country either. Maybe not as bad as Johnson, but that’s a really, really low bar to cross. I’m a moderate, and while there are options now, there weren’t back then. The choice was between extreme right, and extreme left, and i don’t see myself in either.
But that’s just me ranting. In the end, it shouldn’t even be a political consideration whether or not to support carers and disabled people, it should just be a given. Regardless of caring in Wales, Scotland or England. All carers should get support regardless of geolocation.

Letter confirming payment within 3working days..
…………….Update……………. Letter confirming payment within 3working days..
Your council dragged their feet @ajn when did you apply for it.
I just received my £245 today that we get twice a year in Scotland.
I’m surprised you need to apply for it in Wales as up here, it’s automatic.
Hope you all get it, I know it’s not a lot in today’s climate but it will pay for 2.5 tanks of fuel.
May 16 kezo, heads up day above..
don’t mind about the wait, as long as it’s paid in on time 👍

Hoping it will continue to become a yearly payment here, similar to what you have.

The main thing @ajn you are getting it soon.
Indeed Rene. It was just a rant on my part, and I agree with your comments above.
All good, we all need to vent every now and then – especially in these times.

Bahaha.. I’ve applied 30 minutes after the “scheme” opened, still haven’t heard anything back.

On Order: VW Golf GTE PHEV DSG MY23Joss first time payment in Wales (I think), hopefully someone somewhere with a shout is going to bring this up for the rest of the UK highlighting how it should be granted for them too, maybe with a belated payback levelling fairness..
At least you have an update Rene (guess payment will be soon).
Can I just add the update wasn’t put on to let’s say show off, more like a kick up the backside to get this paid out to carers throughout the UK..
can’t understand why it isn’t tbh, as mentioned before not been on this side of the fence long, but this whole system seems weird even the questions to even get here…
😐
