Hi BIS
I did speak to WR & they said it would be right away, just in case anyone else needs to know. Although I'm sure no one wants to know, but it helps prep for the new budget.
Is a carer premium the same as an underlying entitlement to carers do you know? Apparently it continues for 8 weeks if it's a carer premium. I'm sure Gordon mentioned this when I was preparing for the worst at the beginning all this.
Do I have to fill in the CRM1 form & send it, or can I just send my letter which has all that stuff in it anyway?
I think I'll just email them like I did with my complaint & see what happens, as I can't believe we still have to keep writing letters in this day & age. Sorry just drivelling again, it's a nervous thing
Thanks BIS

The Carers Premium is payable for a further eight weeks after you lose entitlement, this is nothing to do with an underlying entitlement.
You do not have to complete the CRM1 form, you can make your MR request by letter.
You cannot communicate with the DWP by email, your letter needs to be sent traditional methods.
