Title: Carers allowance
Post by: clio on December 11, 2019, 05:48:42 PM

Has anyone claimed carers allowance and will it effect the attendance allowance of the person you are caring for??? Any info would be appreciated. Clio

In the 1990s my Dad was awarded care allowance although he had a good Pension, to be spent on a daily carer.  I think it was £40.00 per week?
