The following table contains the figures for the number of people who have an entitlement to Carers Allowance but do not receive it due to overlapping benefit rules, but receive a Carer Premium1.
1 The carer premium is intended to focus help on those who have limited opportunity to gain income from work because of providing care for a person with disabilities. It is awarded where the carer receives Carer's Allowance or has an underlying entitlement to Carer's Allowance. The premium is paid in addition to other benefits and premiums, and where both the claimant and their partner satisfy the conditions, two carer premiums are paid.
The figures include Minimum Income Guarantee (MIG) data. They include all IS (over and under 60s) and JSA(IB) cases with a carer premium but with no CA From October 2003, Pension Credit replaced Income Support for people over 60. The Pension Credit calculation for people who are entitled to Carer's Allowance includes an additional amount equal to the carer premium in Income Support.

Thousands Total All 50.6 Under 65 24.7 65 and Over 26.0 Note:
1. Figures are based on a 5 per cent sample and are therefore subject to a degree of sampling variation.
2. Figures have been rounded to the nearest hundred and are expressed in thousands. Totals do not sum due to rounding.
3. Income-based JSA will include those receiving Income-based JSA with an underlying entitlement to Contribution-based JSA.
4. There is an equivalent premium called the Additional Amount in Pension Credit. There are no data available on this as yet.
