Care Worker Tax Rebate

Hi
Been advised by a co worker to claim Care Worker Tax Rebate. They recently filled out the forms and recieved £3000, of which most was lost in fees.
Went onto the site and have recieved forms, but on close investigation seems they claim 39%...
I have tried to go to HMRC, and cannot find anywhere to claim this rebate without going through the -
'online processing company' (chartered accountants)
Can anyone help
Tricia

    What expenses are you claiming the rebate for? It’s not a care worker allowance, that’s just what the company calls it; they are claiming allowable expenses on your behalf then taking a hefty cut for the privilege.

    You do not need an accountant if it’s straight forwards expenses. 
    ETA you may find that yours clicking on a link designed to look like HMRC when it’s just a scam company after your cash.
