Carers

Financial and Legal Rights

You may find that your financial resources are limited because your income has been reduced since becoming a carer. Find out what financial benefits are available and apply for those that you and the person you are caring for are entitled to. Check also what legal rights you have as a carer in your country.

The Parkinson’s association in your country may also be able to provide information based on members’ experiences. The EPDA website [www.epda.eu.com] contains the contact details for European Parkinson's disease organisations and international Parkinson’s organisations.

Your Parkinson’s association may also advise and provide information and educational opportunities for health professionals.
