I am not entitled to carers allowance as dad is on the old DLA and therefore not entitled to Attendance allowance.
You can get Carers Allowance for someone on DLA, not just Attendance Allowance. My OH is on DLA and I get Carers Allowance. I think you can claim it if hes getting middle rate for care.
Im another one who wont get state pension for another 5 years, but has had to give up work
