Help for Carers in the UK

If you regularly care for someone, you may be eligible for government support:

• Carer’s Allowance – payment for those caring 35+ hours per week.
• Carer’s Credit – National Insurance credits to protect your pension if caring 20+ hours per week.
• Universal Credit / Pension Credit – additional support for caregivers.

Even if you are not officially registered as a “carer” but provide regular care, it is worth checking your eligibility
