    Hi There  my name is Jaide and I'm a member of  Scope I also one of the volunteers who volunteers at one of Scopes shop I do it through another agency. However I like to do other work with Scope so I have decided to come on this forum to get more of an understanding of Scope. I will see you mostly in the coffee room where we can take part in games together and have fun. I would also recommend you a look in the benefits section of the forum as I'm not understanding what you are asking there. Hope to see you around.

    Have they suspended your carers allowance because they've asked you to send them details of your earnings? If so then you will need to send them what they've asked for. It's not their responsibility to check what your earnings are.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    What haven't they sent you? If there's any changes in your earnings then it's your responsibility to report those changes.

    Hello @hina and welcome to our online community, how are you today?

    I'm sorry to hear you're going through a difficult time with your health. I hope the radiotherapy and your continued recovery goes well.

    Please visit this government webpage for details on how to contact the Carer's Allowance department if you are confused as to what is expected from you at this point.

    Just to add, I've moved your post to our Benefits and financial support category and amended the title to reflect your question. 

    Wishing you well for the future.

    Your employer is supposed to give you a payslip every time they pay you. If for some reason you haven't got these they going CA copies of your bank statements may be OK.

    Depending on your NI record for 2020-21 and 2021-22 you may be eligible for new style ESA which will pay you more than CA (your CA will be stopped). Because of your treatment you will automatically be put in the Support Group (although you'll still be sent a health form you will be able to ignore most of it).

    Alternatively, depending on your household, finances including those of a partner if you have one you may be better off on Universal Credit, A benefits calculator will give you an indication.

    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.
