    Hi @ralphs, welcome to the community 😊 I've split your post off into your own discussion as the one you were commenting on was from 2021 and the members may now be inactive. I hope that's okay, it should be easier to find and keep track of any replies this way.

    Are you and your partner on any other benefits? Are you looking to claim as carers for each other?

    There's a little bit of information about eligibility on the government website:

    Carer's Allowance: Eligibility - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
