    Hi,

    For your husband to be able to claim carers allowance then you must be claiming either one of these benefits. PIP daily living, DLA mid/high rate care or attendance allowance. If you don't claim any of those then he won't be able to claim carers allowance.

    For any other benefits advice then it's impossible to advise with no information. I'd advise you to make an appointment with your local advice agency for a full benefits check because it's impossible to give this sort of advice on an internet forum.
    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.
