Carer's Allowance & Work

Options
Hi,

I wondered if anyone would be able to help me. I know you can earn up to £95pw if you are on CA but what I would like to know is do they still pay you your allowance or is it proportioned?

    carers is an allowance they take into account, i'm not sure how much you would lose though.
  • you can earn £95 and get the allowance, if you go over you lose the lot.
