5 years ago I put in for carers allowance for my husband who had brain tumour was told by helpline that could not get it as we were married we got nothing I was getting my state pension at the time my husband is dead now
I’m a carer but can’t get carers allowance because I get the basic pension, they call it overlapping benefits. Carers are nothing but slaves working and not being paid. It saves the government billions of pounds than if they had to pay carers for the work they do

I was caring for both my husband and child (40 years and 50+ and still). But could only claim for one. I've saved the country thousands.
Me too I am now 76 years and Husband is now dead still looking after my Daughter who is nearly 49 years 24/7 and get nothing as I get a state Pension

Do you know about these benefits you can claim as a carer above State Pension age?
