Hiya,

As a carer, you should be entitled to carer's allowance. There may be additional support too.

For the best advice regarding carer support, you should contact;

Carers UK - 0808 808 7777 - carersuk.org

Benefit Enquiry Line - 0800 88 22 00

or your local Citizens Advice Bureau

Thank you for your reply - are there any specific supports for Carers of a person who experiences lupus?

There are no government supports specifically for lupus. LUPUS UK may be able to offer some support, depending on your circumstances. Please email headoffice@lupusuk.org.uk regarding welfare grants.
