After 5 months I have finally been registered as my husbands carer. I had applied a good while ago and suddenly money appeared in my bank account! No explanation via letter or email. Do I need to purchase or apply for a "badge " or similar? I know there are certain concessions how do I find them and how do I pove I am his carer.
Our time together is limited sadly and I'm trying to ,when he is well enough, to do things...sorry this sounds like I just want things. I don't I would do absolutely anything in this world to save my husbands life.
Thank you
