Unpaid carers urged not to miss out on £500 grant
Unpaid carers who could be entitled to a £500 one-off grant have until tomorrow, September 2 at 5pm to get registered
Swansea Council has already paid out £1,676,000 to more than 3,300 unpaid carers.
But the Welsh Government has decided to re-open registrations for the grant and it means anyone who's not yet applied can get their application in by September 2.
It is not a new grant and anyone who has already applied does not need to do so again. In Swansea there's an estimated 950 further unpaid carers who've not yet taken the chance to apply for the Welsh Government grant being administered by the council
Anyone who thinks they may be eligible for the payment must apply for the grant online on Swansea Council's website here: www.swansea.gov.uk/unpaidcarersgrant
The application page - which includes details about who is eligible and who is not - re-opened on August 15. Registrations for the grant must be completed by 5pm on September 2.
