Description |
|
1 |
A carer provides daily care and attention to a care receiver as a result of their illnesses and/or disabilities. Two mornings each week a professional nurse also provides specialised care to the care receiver.
This care would not affect the claimant's eligibility for CA as the claimant is meeting the daily care and attention qualification.
|
|
2 |
A carer provides care 4 days a week and a professional nurse provides care on the remaining 3 days per week.
The carer would not qualify for CA as the carer is not providing daily care and attention.
|
|
3 |
A carer lives with the care receiver and is paid for providing daily care.
If the care being provided to the care receiver is in a private home by a resident carer, it will be considered no commercial arrangements exist and CA will be payable.
