ATTENTION CARERS !!!
Do you need to take time off work to look after someone who needs full time care?
If so, you may be entitled to Carers Benefit, which is not means tested.
See Carers Benefit rates information
Are you providing home care for someone in need of full
time assistance and getting a social welfare payment?
If so, you may be entitled to a half rate payment of Carer’s
Allowance.
Since 27 September 2007, if you are getting certain payment(s)
from this Department and you satisfy the conditions for Carer’s
Allowance, you may get half the rate of Carer's Allowance along
with your existing payment(s). It may also be possible for you to
receive half rate Carer’s Allowance in addition to someone
receiving an increase for you as a qualified adult on their own
payment. The qualifying conditions for receipt of the half rate
Carer’s Allowance payment are exactly the same as Carer’s
Allowance.

ATTENTION CARERS !!!
Are you sharing the care of a person with a family member or friend?
Two carers who provide care can be accommodated on the carer's
allowance scheme. In general the care sharing pattern must be on a
weekly basis, each caring Monday to Sunday. However other caring
patterns may be considered. If granted you will each be paid an amount
of carer's allowance proportionate to the level of care provided. The
rate of payment for each carer will depend each individual's financial
resources and you will both share the annual carer's support grant
proportionally.
A carer who provides care on alternate weeks while the care recipient
attends a residential institution every other week can also be
accommodated on the carer’s allowance scheme.
Each carer should apply for carer’s allowance using form CR 1. If a
person is caring for someone on alternate weeks where the care
recipient attends a residential institution then this detail must be
recorded on the application form. All the usual qualifying conditions for
carer’s allowance will apply to carers availing of these arrangements.
Both carers will receive the household benefits package of free schemes
if they meet the qualifying criteria for the scheme.
