    No, you can’t claim carers allowance for looking after yourself. What benefits exactly do you claim? Do you live with a partner? 
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
