Unpaid carers in Monmouthshire are being reminded they have until Friday to apply for a one off payment.
£500 is being offered to all eligible unpaid carers in Wales who were in receipt of Carers’ Allowance on 31st March this year.
The payments are being made in recognition of the increased financial pressures many unpaid carers have experienced during the pandemic, and to help with some of the additional costs they have incurred.
