Additionally, under the Carers Act 1995 anyone who regularly provides a substantial amount of care has the right to ask social services for a carer's assessment. You are eligible if you are the main carer, you live with the person you care for and being a carer has a substantial impact on your life.
To arrange an assessment of your needs, contact the customer contact centre.
