Hi have been looking after my wife with bpd for 8 years. 3 years full time.
We have 2 children 8 and 11
I Find the financial challenges the hardest at the moment.
My question is:-
Can you get a carers card.
To assist with concessions / discounts.
Thanks in advance.

Financial challenges ?
With half the 7.8 million family / kinship carer army close to / at / below the Official Poverty Line , hardly surprising ?
