Do you think my wife can get carers allowance as she looks after me and helps me?

    Hi @chrissb61 In order for your wife to be in receipt of Carers Allowance, you need to be receiving the daily living component of PIP, or Middle/High rate care of DLA, or Attendance Allowance. Are you receiving 1 of these benefits?

    Hi,

    She also mustn't be earning more than £123 per week after deductions.
    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.
