Carer Allowance - filling the form

Has to be yes.

As your claim date will be 31 December 2023 and your mother wil presumably still be getting her "Spanish State Pension" after that, it seems to me as though you have to put "Yes", but maybe you should seek advice from someone who has experience of these forms. How you phrase the answers can be very important.

Thank you, Haydnpat. Difficult to answer questions sometimes!

I think you have to live in the UK to get Carers Allowance….

You can only claim Carers Allowance if your mother receives disability benefits such as Attendance Allowance or DLA.

You have to live in the Uk to receive Carers’Allowance. Look on Gov.UK for Carers’ Allowance eligibility.

I ghink this should help.

Indeed it should.

There are various Facebook groups for ex pats living in Spain that have a wealth of information.

Thanks to all who have replied to my query.

I checked online on gov.uk and it says this:

"... you normally live in England, Scotland or Wales, or you live abroad as a member of the armed forces (you might still be eligible if you’re moving to or already living in an EEA country or Switzerland),"

I am going to give it a try.... who knows?

Thanks a million.

Thanks a lot, Oldfrill...I never thought of that

I shall have a look

Kind regards.

Maybe start on the gov.uk page to start with
