Money and your rights
If you are a carer, you may be able to get help with money and other support.

You do not have to work it out by yourself.
You may be able to get help with money
There are benefits and other types of financial support.
What you can get will depend on your situation.

A benefits calculator can help you see what support you may be able to claim.
The result is a guide. It does not guarantee that you will get a benefit.
You can ask for a Carer’s Assessment
A Carer’s Assessment is about you and your caring role.
It can help the council understand how caring affects your life and what support you may need.
You may have rights at work
If you work as well as care for someone, you have rights at work.
You may be able to ask for changes that make it easier to balance work and caring.
You can ask for help if you do not understand your benefits, money or rights as a carer.
