I am a carer for my husband who has Alzheimer’s. I am currently unemployed but am trying to find part-time work to fit in with my husband’s needs. Can anyone tell me what the criteria is for me to be eligible to receive carer’s allowance? I have not applied so far but my husband receives lower level Attendance Allowance.
Thank you if you can help.

Thank you Ami2301 and Steve51 for your quick replies. Steve51: I will let you know if I need help with my claim. Looks like I need to get a P45 from my last temp job first to make my Claim. Hopefully the forms aren’t too difficult.
