Benefits

Caring for someone often involves extra expense such as heating and laundry. There may also be the added cost of paying for services, as well as your own loss of income, so you should claim all the money to which you are entitled.

The information provided on the following pages is not advice about benefits, but is an indication of the benefits that might be available to you and how to apply for them.
