    Hi
    I am giving up work to help my mum who has been diagnosed with cancer. She requires surgery waiting on date and will need treatment.
    My query is.. Which do I apply for?
    I live at home with my parents and another adult family member who works full time. I will be her main care giver. Can u apply for carer's benefit if u have been marked down as having left employment?
    And with regards to the carers allowance would I get anything if I had 80k saving? Or should I just use my savings...
