Caring benefits

Hello, 

My mum has just been diagnosed with cancer and will be undergoing 6 months of chemotherapy. If I quit my job to be with her and to care for her, will I be eligible for any benefits?

Thanks

  • Hi yes you can get registered as a carer then you get carers money as long as you don't get a government pension, citizens advice might be best place to try, i spent months going through everything some you get easily others loads of paper work and all you money details hope you get sorted but it's a real jungle,. Just thought try attendance allowance as well,. Good luck.
