Two carers who provide care can be accommodated on the carer's allowance scheme. In general the care sharing pattern must be on a weekly basis, each caring Monday to Sunday. However other caring patterns may be considered. If granted you will each be paid an amount of carer's allowance proportionate to the level of care provided. The rate of payment for each carer will depend each individual's financial resources and you will both share the annual carer's support grant proportionally. A carer who provides care on alternate weeks while the care recipient attends a residential institution every other week can also be accommodated on the carer’s allowance scheme. Each carer should apply for carer’s allowance using form CR 1. If a person is caring for someone on alternate weeks where the care recipient attends a residential institution then this detail must be recorded on the application form. All the usual qualifying conditions for carer’s allowance will apply to carers availing of these arrangements. Both carers will receive the household benefits package of free schemes if they meet the qualifying criteria for the scheme. FOR MORE INFORMATION.... - Log on to www.welfare.ie.
