Bereaved carers are provided with social prescribing
Bereaved Carers are entitled to a carer assessment which can be done through local social services or an approved assessor. Carers who spend at last 35 hours a week caring for someone who needs ‘substantial and regular’ care may be able to claim carers allowance. Carers may experience anticipatory grief.
You are offered support, such as from Social Prescribing link workers, that may help with your grief process and loss.
