Carers grants

What can I not use the grant for?

  • For equipment for yourself such as computers
  • Clothing/furniture
  • For equipment such as aids and adaptations to the home or for the person you care for
  • Payment for any financial contribution required for care or services, which are already being funded by the local authority
  • Supplementing a break for either the carer or the person they care for which is being paid for by Direct Payments
  • Anything that primarily benefits the person you care for, rather than you as their carer
