Hello @garyhamer and welcome to the community. Thanks for reaching out

I'm not too sure whether or not you'd be entitled to any other benefits as it's not my area of expertise, but I'm sure our members can share their thoughts with you.

The best advice I can offer is to have a look at the benefit calculator from Turn2Us, visit Citizens Advice or AdviceLocal to see if they can assist you in finding an answer.

If there's anything that's not clear please do say, and I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Hello @garyhamer I'm sorry no one else has been able to respond to your query since last month. How are things at the moment?

I wonder, have you looked into whether self referring for a needs assessment might be an option for you? If you're having trouble coping day to day, you may be able to get your support needs reviewed.

Let me know if we can help with anything further, or if there's anything I've missed

Gary, could you give more information about what benefits you are currently claiming. Who is your wife getting the Carer's Allowance for?
