Unpaid carers could claim four benefits from the DWP including DLA and Carer's Allowance
Unpaid carers could claim four benefits from the Department for Work and Pensions , including DLA and Carer's Allowance.
However, as each council provides different support and services you will need to contact them to find out what you can be entitled too. As reported by the Mirror, he is an explanation of the various Government schemes involve, and how much they pay. To claim, you must be caring for someone else for at least 35 hours a week and be over the age of 16 years. You must also not be earning more than £139 a week from employment or self-employment - this is after deductions for income tax, National Insurance and pensions.
Carers who do not qualify for Carer’s Allowance may qualify for Carer’s Credit - people who get Carer's Allowance automatically get Carer's Credit. You are able to claim Carer's Credits if you are caring for one or more people for at least 20 hours a week and either they get the relevant disability benefit, or a health or social care professional certifies that the care you provide is needed.
