Nothing more i can add to the advice from atlas, but good luck.Carers Allowance will totally depend on the circumstances of either one of her parents, what benefits they claim or whether they work and how many hours etc.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.

Thank you so much for the help. She is still asleep but should wake soon to call them.
What is the criteria to receive Carer's Allowance? She lives with her grandparents, both of whom are retired, living on savings, investments, and pension, I believe.
Also, what is a WRO?
Thanks again.

Thanks again.Carers Allowance and pension is extremely complicated and gives me a headache lolAs CA and pension are overlapping benefits you can't claim them both together but can still be worth claiming it because they may have an underlying entitlement to it, which means that it can increase any other means tested benefits that they claim. For example, if they claim pension credit then this amount can increase but as you say they have savings then they may not even claim pension credit at all. Trust me, it's complicated but i'll pop a link up that will explain all of this to you.

Just to put it bluntly, her grandparents are quite wealthy ? if CA is anything associated with means-testing they won’t even know of its existence.
The only reason we *need* PIP is that they won’t be around forever and if I want to move to Devon to be with her, my duty manager salary won’t cut it alone paying a mortgage, bills, etc. and there simply is no way she can ever work. At least not until AI technology skyrockets our medical advancement 1,000’s of years ahead in a few decades. -
If that's the case and they're not claiming pension credit then they won't benefit from the carers premium paid on top because they can't claim Carers allowance because of their pension.As for the PIP it doesn't matter how much money you earn because it's not a means tested benefit, if you're entitled to it then you have absolutely every right to claim it, even if you're a millionaire.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.

Just thought I’d let you know her call to Crohn’s and Colitis UK went well and are calling her back Thursday to go through her claim -
Hi
Sounds good, glad she felt it went well.
Just a thought, could your gf, speak to her IBD nurses, to see if they will give her a report for PIP, MR.
From my experience specialist nurse will go out of their way, for their patients.
My wife is under the care of a specialist respiratory nurse, for her COPD, and is very caring and supportive.
Hope all goes well on Thursday, keep us informed.
