WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR SOCIAL SECURITY BY DEPUTY M.B. ANDREWS OF ST. HELIER NORTH

QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 7th NOVEMBER 2022 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 14th NOVEMBER 2022

Question

“Will the Minister advise whether she is considering allowing for the concurrent payment of Home Carer’s Allowance to individuals who are also in receipt of a States pension?”

Answer

I am not considering allowing for the concurrent payment of Home Carer’s Allowance (HCA) to individuals who are also in receipt of a States Pension (OAP).

However, I have set out my intention to review the Social Security benefit landscape as part of my Ministerial Plan.

I would be happy to meet with the Deputy to discuss this matter further.
