You need to be very careful with this. I think you will find that once you reach retirement age, you cannot claim allowances, it is assumed that you have all the time in the world to do these things for free. This might not be quite correct but phone 'Care for the Carers' and ask them. They can also give you lots of other advice.

Hi Twinklelady, thanks for sharing and welcome to the forum.

As per the comments below, your best starting point is to speak to your Local Authority and request a carer's assessment.
