Carers' Rights

Carers have rights enshrined in law. A factsheet detailing the legislation, what it covers and where to find it can be accessed by clicking on Carers Legislation to the right of this page.

Some carers will have a right to a State Second Pension and/or Carers Allowance. Information on whether you are entitled to these can be obtained from a leaflet produced by the Pension Service called "State Pensions - your guide", which is available on their website. Click here to access a copy.

Leaflets with contact details for accessing the above information by telephone or mail can be downloaded from this page.
