💙 Carers Week 💙

If you’re thinking about claiming Carer’s Allowance, it’s important to check how it could affect the person you care for.

If they receive a Severe Disability Premium or Addition as part of benefits such as:
✔️ Income-based JSA
✔️ Income-related ESA
✔️ Income Support
✔️ Housing Benefit
✔️ Council Tax Support
✔️ Pension Credit

…they may lose this payment if you receive Carer’s Allowance.

Always speak to the person you care for before making a claim.

You can apply for Carer’s Allowance:
🖥️ Online via GOV.UK
📄 By downloading and posting a claim form

📞 Need help? Contact the Carer’s Allowance Unit on 0800 731 0297

When you’ve missed a council tax payment, it means you owe money to your council and are in ‘arrears’.

Make sure you contact your council to explain your situation if you can’t pay.

This week is 💜

Carers provide vital support to family members, friends, and loved ones every day — helping people manage both physical and mental health challenges.

While carers spend so much time looking after others, their own mental health and wellbeing can often be overlooked.

If you’re a carer, support is available. For advice, resources, and wellbeing tips, visit Carers Week or find out more here: https://buff.ly/HLPQ1Et

A small reduction can make a noticeable difference to heating costs while still keeping most homes comfortable.

Lowering your thermostat by just 1°C could help reduce your heating costs. Small changes can add up over time.
