Then maybe the thread can now get back on track as I suspect the OP headed for the hills several pages back.

i havent been personal. if you have chosen to take some posts that way then that is merely your opinnion.

youre taking the leave it to us a bit too literally.
by all means ask questions and learn about the topic, but you are telling people that they are wrong when they arent.
as i said, this isnt the forum for discussion and opinion, that is what 'discussion time' is for.
people come here for specific adxice on specific problems. not for opinion and what people ;think' the system should be like

of course not because that would be admitting that you said 'caring is a part time job'

Part time and full time has no relevance on number of hours. Minimum 35 hrs a week, getting only CA for it, can be termed part time.

Oart time or full time is decided by the number of hours worked and not by the pay received.
some hight fliers can receive 100's for an hour of their time... does that mean they are working full time?
apart from that, CA is NOT a wage, it is an allowance.
the criteria to receive that ALLOWAVCE states that the recipient has to provide care for a minimum of 35 hours a week

Except, it's not. Unless a minimum of 35 hours per week is part times?

Here IndieKid:

A part-time worker is someone who works fewer hours than a full-time worker. There is no specific number of hours that makes someone full or part-time

https://www.gov.uk/part-time-worker-rights

From .gov website, thus a FACT

Well ataully I dont really care to be honest. But the thing is I do understand and I'm right that's what you need to realise really.

Agree duchy.

Had to laugh at the part time worker link though yes a worker is entitled by law to NMW :rotfl:

Sadly Carers on CA are not deemed workers by the state they are in receipt of a benefit in exchange for 35 hours minimum of caring.

And said link says someone working 35 hours a week or more is normally deemed full time
