You will need to obtain a piece of evidence dated within the last 12 months to prove your carer's status. This should be about your caring responsibilities not about the person you care for.
Examples could include, a letter from your GP or other medical professionals, Voluntary Sector or School confirming your carer's status. The letter or email must be on a headed paper and include the following:
- your name,
- who you care for,
- confirmation you are the primary carer for this person,
- a brief outline of the care you provide
You may also use a prior receipt of Carer's Allowance.
Please note: You will only be required to provide evidence once if you continue to access the carer's support for the duration of your studies. If your caring responsibilities do change during your studies, you will be expected to notify Welfare@CampusLife of these changes.
