The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has said that thousands of people throughout the UK could be missing out on up to £3,624 through a government payment.
According to the UK Government department, many households may be eligible for Carer's Allowance as well as a Christmas bonus. And for people struggling amid the cost of living crisis, the money may be a lifeline ahead of winter.
Charity Carers UK has stated that one out of every eight people acts as a carer for somebody else. This means that approximately 6.5 million people are unable to commit to work as many hours as they would like and have a lower income as a result.
