Financial and Legal Support

“What I want is a holiday and a pension.”

What matters to carers:

  • Knowing what welfare benefits carers are entitled to.
  • Financial and benefits advice that is relevant and specific to individual circumstances.
  • Specific benefits sessions for carers, where they can speak with an adviser.
  • Financial recognition of the caring role in the form of discounts, including support with household bills and travel expenses, to address the rising cost of living.
  • Affordable homecare to enable carer breaks.
  • Access to free or low-cost legal aid.
  • Greater awareness amongst carers of things like court of protection or deputyship for financial affairs.
  • Connection and awareness of available grants and support schemes which can help manage financial health.
