Going on holiday whilst claiming Carers allowance

Does anyone know how going on holiday affects carers allowance. I claim this for looking after my daughter and she would obviously be going with me.
We would be abroad for approx 3 weeks? So I'm wondering before I book anything if this is going to affect anything?
TIA

If you claim Carer's Allowance you can go on holiday for up to 4 weeks out of a 26 week period without it affecting your benefit.
You should inform the office that deals with your benefit that you will be away.

As your daughter will be going with you, you will not be having a 'break from caring', and as it's only 3 weeks, there is no problem at all.0
