Help with being classified as a carer?

[lisa_220712]

MY GP says i cannot be classified as a carer because I don't receive carers allowance.
I run my business from home and look after my mother and father as well, so I don't qualify for carers allowance. Is this correct?
Thanks for any help

You are a carer. The definition of a carer is someone who provides unrecognised (often) and unpaid care to a disabled family member or friend who requires a lot of support.
