I don’t think it does but it might be worth phoning and checking. They may even qualify for carers allowance if they dont already get it

@Jadetherabbit On further research they would qualify if they cared for you for at least 35 hours a week so I think they would stand a good chance

@Jadetherabbit They would have to be earning less than £128 a week
