My husband and I both look after my mother. Can we both get Carers Allowance?
No. Only one person can get Carer’s Allowance for each person receiving the Disability Living Allowance (DLA) or Attendance Allowance (AA). If two or more people share the care, you need to decide who is to claim the benefit. This will depend on any other benefits you receive, your income tax situation, and your national insurance contribution record.
