Government and Statutory Bodies - Links
Here you can gain access to a wealth of government, council and further information regarding the benefits, policies, laws, acts and other legislation that could be of great importance to you. Many of the sites can give you a thorough update of those matters relevant to your caring situation, financial and otherwise. Try to visit regularly as ever-changing policies may mean you are not getting everything you're entitled to.
If you've got any specific questions you'd like to ask other carers, post a message on our discussion boards, visit our online chat room or email our Help Desk.
