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

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.
