Carers grant- WWYD?

[professorpoopsnagle]

I have just been told that I am eligible to claim a one off carers grant of up to £250. Which is lovely but I'm a bit overwhelmed by it- sounds daft but I am not used to spending money or allowing time on myself. I can use it for things like a break, few hours out in the day/evening, hobbies/gym membership, cleaning/gardening etc. What would you do and why?

I think I'd buy one of those robot vacuum cleaners to make life a bit easier
Currently coveting one myself!

I had one and am spending it on pampering ..... pure me time :)

How do you claim the grant btw? Is it linked with careers allowance?

Hi Corny google carers grant and your area that should help i hope .

Thank you

Good luck :)

Probably being dense here, but is it possibly to post a link? I'm a bit confused about the options coming up from google

Not sure that they do it everywhere - which is why some of you may not find anything in your areas. Never heard of it in my LA area but I know they do it in the neighbouring county.

www.wecareappeal.co.uk/ but this is Norfolk

CAS (carers association) do it in some areas,

Thanks for posting the links , will investigate availability in m county.
