If my sister in law (currently not working or receiving benefits) is to become her carer and apply for carers allowance (which will work well at the moment) but if I have to give up work and need to then claim it what will happen to my SIL if this should happen?

Similarly, if you share the caring role with another person, and you both provide at least 35 hours of care every week, only one of you can claim Carer’s Allowance. You need to decide between you who should make the claim. The other person should seek advice about the benefits they can claim, and may be able to claim Carer’s Credit for the time they are caring.
