To determine eligibility for council-related discounts as a carer, it depends on whether you are a paid or unpaid carer and the specifics of the care you provide.
Here’s a summary of eligibility requirements based on the type of carer:
| Type of Carer | Eligibility Criteria |
|---|---|
| Paid Carers | Must work at least 24 hours a week, earn £44 or less per week, and be employed by a relevant body. |
| Unpaid Carers | Must provide care for at least 35 hours per week to someone receiving specific benefits and not be a disqualified relative (e.g., spouse, child under 18). |
If you're caring for someone part-time (less than 35 hours), you would not meet the eligibility requirements for discounts based on the available council records. Consider checking this page for more details or updates regarding any changes in eligibility.
