A carer is someone who provides care or support without being paid to do so for a family member, partner, friend or neighbour who could not manage as well without their help because of illness, disability, a physical or mental health condition, frailty or addiction.<\/p>\n
This is different from someone who is employed as a care worker or professional carer.<\/p>\n
You may not think of yourself as a carer, you might simply see yourself as a husband, wife, partner, parent, child, relative, friend or neighbour who helps someone you care about.<\/p>\n
If you provide this kind of unpaid support, please let us know. Knowing that you are a carer can help us understand your circumstances and make sure this is recorded on your medical record.<\/p>\n
