Benefits advice for carers
7. Information and support
Online benefit check
To check what benefits you could get as a carer you can use an independent benefits calculator, entitledto. The calculator will give details of your estimated benefit entitlement.
How to claim
For further information on eligibility and how to apply for Council Tax support, Council Tax discounts and exemptions, please contact your local council.
For details of other benefits, including how to claim, please see the GOV.UK website.
If you still have questions about your entitlement after your estimate from the calculator you can contact the Welfare Rights Service.
If your claim for benefit or tax credits has been refused or if you disagree with a decision about your benefit entitlement you may be able to challenge this. Please see our guide to benefit challenges and appeals for more information.
