If you are thinking about Carers Allowance, you can only claim for one person. I’m not sure any other reason, other than at your GP, you register as a carer.

You can register with a GP but if you're already registered then you don't need to do this twice.

Welcome to the community @zambouka! Thank you for joining us.
I'd also be interested to hear about for what purpose you'd like to register as a carer for your father, as well as your mother. Please do give us some more details if you feel comfortable doing so
I can imagine that caring for them both might take a bit of a toll on you, both physically and mentally. Are you receiving any support to help you care for your own wellbeing?0
