UC?/carer was created by Perdita

I have a relative who is a carer and has been caring for quite a few years. The relative has never claimed anything other than Carers Allowance. The relative I believe has savings that would not allow Income Based benfefits, but could this relative claim a Contribution Based benefit due to having NI contributions paid via Carers Allowance? Also do Contribution Based benefits only last a year?

Hi Perdita

We cannot answer your question as we do not have enough information, we would advise your relative to contact their local Welfare Rights Organisation; advicelocal.uk , they will be able to take in all their current circumstances togive accurate information.
