Hi roe1,

Welcome to the Care Community which I see you have just joined. There is a whole list of things which would make you eligible and likewise your son as your carer, and it is too complicated and too personal to your own circumstances to go into it here. There is a clear, explanatory section at the GovUK website (gov.uk) website that explains it all. Search under Carer's Allowance.

If you aren't able to do that, then CAB (Citizens' Advice Bureau) are very good for advice on what you might, or might not be eligible for in the way of financial help.

If you don't already have Attendance Allowance, that's another avenue for financial assistance which might be open to you. Again there is information about that too, on the Gov.UK website or via CAB.

Best wishes to you and I hope you manage to find the information you are looking for.
