Carers allowance for COPD

    Hi,

    Hopefully I'm in the right place for posting this.

    Just wondering if anyone has received carers allowance for looking after someone with COPD?

    My dad is 70 with COPD (not on an oxygen tank yet) and the smallest tasks have him gasping. I do almost everything for him apart from showering. I have never applied for carers as I assumed it would be rejected as it seems like the criteria is very hard. My dad himself is just getting his pension and no other welfare payment.

    Any information would be gratefully received, thanks.
