    HI,
    To claim Carers allowance you must not earn more than £128 per week so unfortunately, he won't be able to claim it. See link.
    Also, even if he wasn't working full time, because he's not a Bristish Citizen, if he's subject to immigration control then he won't be able to claim it. (see link for this also)

    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.
