Hi I was wondering if anyone can give me some info, my husband is disabled and claims ESA and PIP and I am on Carers allowance and I am wondering how much I am allowed to earn before it will affect our benefit. The income wouldn't be a flat rate as it is worked on commission basis. Any info would be of great help.

You can earn up to £128/week without losing your CA as confirmed on the link woodbine posted.
What type of ESA does your husband claim? If it includes any income based payment then this will be reduced by anything you earn in excess of £20/week.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK. -
