(3) In the case of a couple, the carer premium is payable in respect of each partner if they both qualify for it, but only if they are not caring for the same severely disabled person.

(4) Where two or more persons have regular and substantial caring responsibilities for the same severely disabled person, the carer premium is only payable in respect of one of them and that is—

(a)the one whose award of universal credit includes the carer element described in regulation 29 of the 2013 Regulations(1),

(b)the one in receipt of a carer’s allowance [F2or carer support payment] in respect of the severely disabled person, or

(c)the one who would be in receipt of a carer’s allowance [F3or carer support payment] in respect of the severely disabled person were it not for the application of the Social Security (Overlapping Benefits) Regulations 1979 [F4or, as the case may be, regulation 16 of the Carer’s Allowance (Carer Support Payment) (Scotland) Regulations 2023] (2).

(5) Where a carer premium is awarded to a person whose award of universal credit includes the carer element described in regulation 29 of the 2013 Regulations, the condition for the award of the premium is to be treated as satisfied for as long as that carer element continues to be paid (for example, following the death of the severely disabled person).

(6) Where a carer premium is awarded to a person other than a person described in sub-paragraph (5), but—

(a)the person in respect of whose care the carer’s allowance [F5or carer support payment] has been awarded dies, or

(b)in any other case the person in respect of whom a carer premium has been awarded ceases to be entitled to a carer’s allowance [F6or carer support payment,]

the condition for the award of the premium is to be treated as satisfied for a period of 8 weeks from the relevant date specified in sub-paragraph (7).

(7) The relevant date for the purposes of sub-paragraph (6) is—

(8) Where a person who has had regular and substantial caring responsibilities for a severely disabled person ceases to have such caring responsibilities and makes an application for council tax reduction, the condition for the award of the carer premium is to be treated as satisfied for a period of 8 weeks from the date on which—

(a)the person in respect of whom the person had such caring responsibilities dies, where that brought the caring responsibilities to an end, and

(b)in any other case, the person ceased to have such caring responsibilities.
