hi all just a couple of questions really,
I’m a single mum with a 5year old little girl with Rett syndrome I currently work 16 hours self employment and get a £110 a week I do get tax credit disability premium and howling Benifit of £220 a fortnight would it be worth me claiming carers allowance for my little girl as I’m worried other benefits will disappear and I’ll be worse off she is on hrm and hrc and has been since she was 3 yrs old I put this into her own bank I do also get working tax credit of £68 a week thanks in advance
