Hi, What criteria has to be met in order to be a Carer? Is it possible to be a carer for two elderly parents and still attend full time college?

Is your enquiry relating to qualifying for carer's allowance/benefit?

If so, this thread might be helpful.

Regarding college, check with carer's allowance/benefit department. The guidelines state you mut not be employed for more than 15 hours per week, would presume this also refers to further education.
