Stunell urges carers to check their rights10.39.54am GMT Thu 1st Dec 2005 As Carers Rights Day approaches this Friday, local MP, Andrew Stunell has called on all of Stockport's 30,000 carers to make sure they are claiming all the benefits and services that they are entitled to. Hazel Grove MP, Andrew Stunell said: "It is vital that people who look after a sick or disabled relative receive all the benefits and services that they are entitled to. "There has been worrying research showing that many carers live in poverty and do not have the support they need and deserve. "Carers need support. They save Stockport health services £285 million - without them the NHS would collapse. "You can learn more at the Carers' Information Day at The Meadows, Owens Farm Drive, Offerton on the 2nd December, 11-4, by calling the freephone hotline on 0808 8087777, or by getting in touch with my office." ENDS Notes to Editors: 1. Carers can now claim Carer's Allowance online at www.dwp.gov.uk/carersallowance/index.asp 2. More information can be found at www.carersuk.org
