No. You can receive only one Carer’s Allowance no matter how many people you care for. If you care for more than one person you need to decide who to claim the benefit for. Claiming Carer’s Allowance may reduce the amount of Income Support, Pension Credit, Housing Benefit or Council Tax Benefit (Rate Rebate in Northern Ireland) that the person you look after receives. The answer to the question below should help you to decide who to claim for.
