CaringResponsible: Your municipality

Support for carers (anhörigstöd)

The municipality should offer support to you if you help or care for someone close to you.

Quick check: does this apply to you?

Answer yes or no on each line. Nothing is saved.

  • You help or care for someone who is ill, older or has a disability

What affects the decision

  • What your municipality offers, such as counselling, respite care or courses
  • What help the person already has

What to do

  1. Read the rules and current amounts at your municipality.
  2. Think about what would make the most difference for you, such as respite care or someone to talk to.
  3. Contact the municipality, for example through its contact centre or social services.
  4. You get a decision. If your situation changes, you usually need to report it.
