Looking at this link the child would need to get child disability payment at middle or higher rate

Was she turned down to Carers Allowance because of her income? If so, she will be able to claim when her income drops below£ 151 a week after tax, National Insurance and expenses.The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.0
