Carer allowance?

My husband has MG and has good and bad days, sometimes I have to help him more than other days. When he’s on a good day he carries on with jobs around the house and gets very tired.
He couldn’t cook for himself by the evening and is very fatigued. Would I qualify for applying for carer allowance?

  1. Hello! Here is some info on carer allowance in the US:

    If you are in the UK, you can find eligibility requirements here:

    I hope this helps!
