my husband has been in hospital for a big operation and is my main carer. does anyone know whether i can have someone else to care for me until he is able to do it again, and how will they get paid? Any information would be gratefully received,

is he getting carers allowance cos if he is then he wont get it if he isnt caring for you for at least 35 hrs pw or more, so i guess you could get someone else to care for you and they could get the money.
not sure really.
sorry
