Carers
Allowance
It
is nearly always worth claiming Carers Allowance
if you are entitled to do so, because even if you
are not eligible for this allowance you could still
receive an additional weekly £26.25 on your
Income Support or Pension Credit. Or you might
be able to pay considerably less on your rent or
rate rebate. And if your circumstances or the benefit
rules have changed you may now qualify for these
benefits for the first time. Please do get advice
on this from an independent specialist.
