If you look after someone with an illness or disability, you are a carer. Carers Direct is the official website designed to help you get the help and support you need as a carer. They offer all the information you should need to get the financial help you are entitled to, as well as advice on getting a break from caring, going to work and much more. They can be contacted on 0808 802 0202 or visit the website at www.nhs.uk/carersdirect.
