Financial & Benefits (Adult Carer Support Hub)

The benefits system can seem confusing especially for Carers who's benefits are closely linked to those of the person they care for. Thankfully advice is available and we would recommend regular benefits checks, especially following a change of circumstances.  If we can't help you, we can point you towards an expert who can.

The pages in this section show a summary of the main types of help available in terms of benefits and finances. We would always recommend getting a full benefits check, especially if you are new to caring or your circumstances change. 

You can find further reading and information in these places:

• Carers UK & Carers Trust each produce useful guides.
• Community Law Service provide benefit advice in Northamptonshire. They also attend our Northampton Carers Information Hub once a month but please contact us to book a slot.
• Turn2Us have an online benefits calculator

We hope this information is of use but please contact us if you want to discuss further.
