Registering as unpaid carer with GP?

I have been told by the gp I must register as an unpaid carer. Can I be compelled to do this?

Why does the gp want this ? Is it so you might get support or is it to support another patient?
If the former, might be worthwhile.
If the latter my advice would be not to. If social services think a person needing support already has a carer, they will stand by and let you grind yourself into the ground.

Of course not. It's not the law.

But why do they want you to? What benefit is there?
