I will have to check all of the impacts on various carers because it does depend on what particular circumstances those persons are in. It is the case that persons who are receiving carer allowance will receive $1,000 extra for each eligible person being cared for. As with the other payments, they will be delivered in the fortnight commencing 8 December. The $1,000 lump sum payment will go to those carers receiving the carers allowance for each eligible person being cared for.
