    Hi there, I would appreciate a bit of advice on my situation please guys.

    I'm 30 years old, full time carer to my disabled Dad for the past four years and I'm currently in receipt of Carer's Allowance. Unfortuantely, due to my fathers deteriorating condition and increasing special needs, I have had to make the hardest decision of my life to put him into full time residential care.

    Long story short, I went through the whole process over the past couple of months and he is getting a place within the next four weeks in a nearby nursing home. I'm dreading the day but I know it has to be done as I simply cannot manage, anyway, one thing I (stupidly) never thought of was what happens when I cease to be a full time carer benefit wise. I've never received any other benefit in my life other than the carers so I'm at a loss as to what to do.

    Do I just go down to my local social welfare office and they can sort it out for me?

    I would appreciate any advice given guy. cheers

    Yes when the time comes call into your local office and start a claim for JSA.
