    hello all! i applied for carer's at the beginning of march (caring for my grandmother who is 80+ yrs old and has mobility issues/mild dementia) and just got a letter in the post stating an officer will be calling for a visit. I'm a bit nervous about this as I have no idea what to expect, just wondering if anyone else has experience with an officer doing a home visit and what exactly happens? thanks a million!

    Carer's Allowance IS means tested. The reason for the visit is to see exactly what you do on a day to day basis for the person you are caring for, how your (and their) daily life is impacted.


    Not a nice attitude to have towards someone doing their job, in fairness.
