Benefits
Benefits, establishing whether you are eligible and filling in all the forms, can feel like a minefield.
West Cumbria Carers are not benefits experts, but we have experience in filling out certain forms and have been through the processes before, so can assist you with this, or attend with you at the local Citizens Advice Bureau. Or we can telephone the Department for Works and Pensions to help access professional advice tailored to your situation.
Some, but by no means all, of the benefits which may be relevant to Carers, are listed below, with links to find out more about eligibility and how to apply via ‘Directgov -
