Carers Benefit

Carer’s Benefit may be payable if you give up work in order to provide full time care for a person who needs it. The conditions are similar to those for Carer’s Allowance except that it is not means tested and you must have enough PRSI contributions. Carer’s Benefit is paid for up to 15 months.

You can find out more information about the rules, rates, and an application form by clicking here
