Hello everyone,
I would be grateful for your advice please.
With the invaluable help of this group, I successfully challenged via Tribunable my husband's application for PIP, which was subsequently awarded for 5 years.
Following this, I claimed carer's allowance. However, this month I myself reach State Pension age and have been informed that the carer's allowance will stop.
This is very disappointing, as I paid into my State Pension for over 40 years, only giving up work to care for my parents and now my husband.
My question is, is this correct and if so, are there any other benefits that are available to me, to help support me in supporting my husband?
Many thanks in advance,
Jackie
