Can I get benefits to pay for care?

  • Yes, the three main government benefits designed to help people pay for care are the Attendance Allowance (for people over state pension age), the Personal Independence Payment (for adults with disabilities) and the Disability Living Allowance (for children with disabilities).

    However, there are many other benefits that you can potentially claim to help pay for your care.

    You can read more about carer and disability benefits on the government website here.
