Hi,
Does anyone know how much a week someone should get if they apply for Carers allowance and Income support?
The MIL has recently applied for both and been approved and she is now just waiting for the letter to come through telling her how much it should be a week, however she has had a income support letter saying that from a date in feb that her income support will be 42.50 and that seems high for me when she will be recieveing Carers allowance aswell!
The Jobcentre have told her to see what the letter says and then contact them after she has recieved it to see if its correct!
Thanks
