I am claiming carers allowance for my wife she is going back to work part time 20hrs she recieves dla middle care and low mobility would i still get carers allowance with her working as i would still be looking after her whilst at home.

DWP are undoubtedly the best people to ask about this. I suppose it depends on who will be caring for her whilst she is at work. If the answer is 'no one' then DWP may reasonably deduce she's recovered enough that she doesn't need care. They may not - as it is possible to work and receive DLA, however I'm not sure that this applies to Carer's Allowance.

Either way this is a change in circumstances so you are obliged to inform them and they may well wish to review all the benefits being claimed
