I have been looking after my dad since February, after him being involved in a car accident. He is in the process of claiming disability living allowance/attendance allowance.
Although he is slowly getting back on his feet, I do most of the work around the house - cooking & cleaning for him, doing the weekly shop etc.
I understand that I may be able to claim Carers Allowance, however, will this automatically be assumed/calculated through his application for DLA, or will I have to apply for this seperately? There were sections in his application detailing who is looking after him/how much he is capable of doing himself etc.
