    You can't claim carers allowance yourself. Someone else can claim it for looking after you, depending on their circumstances.

    Your question about being entitled to something. More information is needed to be able to advise.

    1/ Are you claiming any other benefits? if so, which ones exactly please?

    2/ Do you live alone, with a partner or other adults?
