Wales and scotland who claim carer� s allowance. Carers can earn just under £82 each week if they spend at least 35 hours a week caring for someone else. A week caring for someone. Its pennies, really, in comparison. It doesnt equal because the caring role can be so sporadic and its across the whole day and night. Its just a drop in the ocean. Victoria works for northamptonshire carers. She dropped everything to care for her dad until he passed away last year. She says claiming carer� s allowance was a battle. Shed spend hours on the phone to the department for work and pensions, desperately trying to get support. Not that you cant put a value on caring for someone, but it doesnt pay the bills. It doesnt help, really. And its a very cold, standard process which is followed. The letters are very sharp. And when youre feeling really low, it doesnt help at all
