Hello

I'm 19 and currently caring for my father who suffers from mental illness.

I quit education to look after him and the job requires me to do a lot of work daily so i decided to start a carers allowance claim ( in the process now ).

I'm just wondering though would i also be able to claim income support or any other benefits?

Also I travel over 15+ miles a day on train & would like to live closer to him am i eligible rent a DSS property?

Thanks in advance for those who take there time to answer these questions
