Money to help you if you are going through hardship - A Guide for Carers
One-off financial assistance is available if you, or the person you care for, have an immediate and essential or emergency cost, and can’t pay for it another way. Examples of essential costs are bedding, food, health and travel costs. To get this help, you do not have to be getting a benefit.
Getting this type of help may depend on how much you and your partner earn, and how much money or other assets you have, or your partner has. Depending on your situation, you may have to pay back the money.
