1. This is guidance — and only ever guidance

Everything produced by ukworkrights.co.uk is general guidance. It is not legal advice. It is not a substitute for advice from a qualified solicitor. Never treat it as the final word — use it as a starting point, then check and take responsibility for any action you take.

2. AI can make mistakes

The guidance is generated by artificial intelligence. AI can and does make mistakes — wrong dates, wrong figures, wrong legal references, missed nuances. Read everything carefully. If the matter is serious, get it checked by ACAS, Citizens Advice, or a qualified solicitor before acting on it.

3. Verified figures and guidance sources

Statutory figures (such as rates for minimum wage, SSP, redundancy, pension contributions, council tax bands, flight compensation amounts, and benefit rates) are verified against GOV.UK, ACAS, Citizens Advice, and relevant regulatory bodies. Laws and rates change regularly. Always verify important figures at gov.uk before making decisions or taking action.

4. Your description stays private

The situation you describe is used to generate your guidance and is then discarded. It is never stored or shared. Any informal language, slang, or strong emotion in your description will not appear in the output.

5. Your responsibility

By using this service you accept that you will treat all output as general guidance only, verify important information with official sources, and seek professional legal advice for serious or complex matters. ukworkrights.co.uk accepts no liability for any loss or damage arising from your use of or reliance on this service.

What is your volunteering rights question?

Describe your volunteering situation and we'll check your rights

💡

Key distinction: Genuine volunteers have no employment rights — no minimum wage, no holiday pay, no unfair dismissal protection. But if you receive payment beyond expenses, or have set obligations, you may actually be a worker with full rights.

If you spend at least 35 hours a week caring for someone who receives certain disability benefits, you may be entitled to Carer's Allowance and other support.

⚖ Carer's Allowance (2026): £81.90 per week. You must earn no more than £151 per week after tax and certain expenses. You are also entitled to a Carer's Assessment from your local council to assess your own needs.

📎 gov.uk/carers-allowance

Attendance Allowance is a tax-free benefit for people aged 67 or over who have a physical or mental disability and need someone to help look after them.

⚖ Current rates (2026): Lower rate £72.65 per week — for those who need help during the day or night. Higher rate £108.55 per week — for those who need help both day and night, or who are terminally ill. You do not need to have a carer to claim.
