There are many benefits available for unpaid carers and the people you care for. The welfare rights system can often be overwhelming, but it’s important to know what you’re entitled to.
VOCAL offers appointments with our Money Matters team: Carer Support Practitioners with specialist knowledge in income maximisation. They can do a benefits check and support you with any applications.
To book a benefits check appointment, please contact your local carers’ centre.
