Hi @samsung16,
If you're claiming Carers Allowance you could potentially get a top up of income support.
If you're able to, run the benefits calculator on our website http://www.scope.org.uk/support/disabled-people/check-benefits. This will highlight any potential entitlements you might have. If you get stuck and need some help with this, get in touch with us at the helpline and we can talk you through your options.
Best wishes
