Hello my is Andy

I'm looking for advice on carers allowance, I claim carers allowance because I help my wife with her physical difficulties I recently had a seizure and am having ongoing issues because of it can my wife also claim carers allowance as she is now assisting me with my daily living ?
Thank you Andy.

Hello @AndyE and a warm welcome to the community. Do you claim PIP or any other benefits for yourself currently? 

AndyE

Hello thank you very much for the reply, no I only claim carers allowance but my wife claims pip and ESA.

Your wife can’t claim carers allowance for looking after you because you’re not claiming a qualifying disability benefit. 

You can look at claiming PIP for yourself. https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/sick-or-disabled-people-and-carers/pip/before-claiming/check-you-are-eligible/
