More than 57,000 unpaid carers in Wales will receive a £500 payment in recognition of the ’pivotal role’ they have played during the pandemic.
The payment is part of a £29m investment in unpaid carers from the Welsh Government and recognises the financial and emotional hardship many have experienced.
Unpaid carers who are receiving Carer’s Allowance on March 31st this year will be eligible for the payment.
