Earning less returning to work?

Oh works full time, I've been at home with daughter who is disabled with complex needs, so getting dla. Youngest son has just started school, so I'm looking at returning to work.
I've started a job 25 hours per week, but have calculated that with losing dla and child tax credits I'll earn just over £100 a month:eek:
The demands of Dd, fitting in her therapies, finding childcare for son, travel etc running house, make it seem that better to actually stay at home.
Am I missing something? This really doesn't seem right?

You will not lose DLA. Do you mean Carers Allowance?0
-
The DLA awarded to your child shouldn't be stopped by your returning to work, assuming that the childs disability hasn't changed.0

Sorry, you're right, I meant that I would lose Carer's allowance.0

you can work and earn a certain amount as well as claiming carers allowance.
have you tried putting the options into the entitledto (now turn2us) website calculator?0
