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.

Thank you - I will get in touch with the citizens advice!
Hi its a real mine field when they ask for any details give them everything you've got including things they don't ask for, when i did some of mine they kept asking for more things each time i think there trying to get you fed up an stop doing it and some tell you you cannot have something when you can,. Again good luck.

Thanks both! I've also emailed Carers UK to see if they can provide any guidance
