For peoples information on here. I stopped being a carer when my Mum died at the end of Oct last year. I got 8 weeks of Carers Allowance run on after it was initially stopped for some reason or other.
Anyway after a month of living off my savings I asked Welfare rights if I was entitled to JSA contribution based and they said yes because of getting class 1 NI credits. So I’ve put in for it and got it which is a help. It doesn’t matter what your savings are either because this like Carers Allowance is not means tested.
