answer text <p>One of the eligibility conditions for Carer’s Allowance is that the disabled person being cared for is receiving a qualifying disability benefit. A list of qualifying disability benefits can be found on <a href="https://www.gov.uk/carers-allowance/eligibility" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/carers-allowance/eligibility</a>. If the person being cared for is not getting one of the qualifying disability benefits because they have no recourse to public funds, then Carer’s Allowance would not be payable. We do not hold administrative data where we could identify that a Carer’s Allowance application has been unsuccessful for this reason.</p><p> </p> more like this
