Carers Trust

Money and benefits

Make sure you claim any benefits and credits that you, and the person you care for, are entitled to. Some carers can claim Carer's Allowance but there are other benefits that you may be able to get. There are benefits just for carers, some for people with a disability, and some to help you if you have a low income.

Getting a break

It's is important to take a break sometimes. Find out more about respite care, sitting and befriending services and holidays.
