    I know when I got carers allowance for my nan for a few weeks they took it out of her benefits and gave it to me as carers allowance so it could be what they are on about whe it says it's not retrievable after a certain length of time as they won't be able to take it off the other persons money

    theywould NEVER have taken it from her benefits, as this isn't how carers allowance works.
    an additional severe disability premium may be removed when someone clims carers, but the basic benefits are unaffected
