  1. Revised the 'An introduction to Carer鈥檚 Allowance: easy read' documents, their new reference numbers are CA1ER_0622 (English) and A1WER_0622 (Welsh). A line on page 14 has been changed: 'If you get State Pension, you can still get Carer鈥檚 Allowance if this is less than your State Pension benefits' now correctly says 'If you get State Pension, you can still get Carer鈥檚 Allowance if this is more than your State Pension'.
