It can be all too easy to fall into the trap of feeling shy about applying for carers' benefits. But that support is  there because you're carrying out a crucial role - so don't be backwards in coming forwards.! 

Have you ever been enjoying a relaxed Sunday evening - when the unwelcome thought of work ruins the vibe?

Unless you’re superhuman , the answer will almost certainly be yes. Even if you’re lucky enough to have a job that excites and satisfies you , the idea of going to work for someone else can occasionally lose its magic. 

At moments like this its easy to think - what if I took the plunge and worked for myself?
