A carer’s assessment is designed to evaluate how your role as a carer affects your health and to identify any support you may need. It is conducted through the community mental health team (CMHT) and can explore practical and emergency support options tailored for you.
To request a carer’s assessment, you need to contact West Lothian Council. Here’s a summary of how to do it:
| Step | Action |
