Any unpaid carer is potentially eligible for a grant, it is not means tested. Unpaid working carers and carers who receive benefits carers can apply.
Former carers can apply for a grant up to a year after the person with care needs has died or gone into permanent residential care.

Paid Care Worker e.g. Foster Carer, Respite Carer or Support Worker etc cannot apply as they are not unpaid carers.
