Carer help was created by Souter
Hi, my brother suffers from COPD and he is needing more help. He struggles in the morning and throughout the day. I need to have a male family member to give him a shower.
I am at the stage I need to move in with him as his needs are changing. He receives the full mobility and part of care component ( I think)
I may be wrong in this and he may receive the enhanced rate.
I also receive the care component . Would this stop me moving in with my brother to support his needs. I receive the care component for a bowel condition and osteoarthritis and osteoporosis.
I thank you for help offered. We live in Scotland
Kind Regards
Teresa Ferguson

Hi Souter

It will not stop you moving in to support your brother. We would advise youto seek advice from your local Welfare Rights Organisation; advicelocal.uk , they will be able to take all your circumstnces into consideration when giving you advice.
