Claiming carers was created by Claimant

Hi my husband has recently been diagnosed with prostrate cancer so we have both had to do a joint UC claim even though . Initially he was going to claim carers for his 90 year old father who gets attendance allowance. It looks as though his treatment is going to be extensive. Is it possible for me to leave work to claim carers for his dad without being sanctioned. Thank you , very grateful for any guidance

Hi Claimant

You need to get advice from your local Welfare Rights Organisation; advicelocal.uk not only for you and your husband but also your husbands father as he may be missing out on Pension Credit Guarantee, free tv license, winter fuel allowance and others as PCG is a qualifying benefit.

You can become the carer of your husband, your husband can claim work capability assessment, we would advise you to seek advice.

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems
