Any advice please. Been a carer to my child for 1.5 years .didn't receive a letter to say I got it .after some months I got it in the bank .I sent in p45 3 months after reviving it ..didn't hear anything .April 18 sent in a offer letter of work which I accepted as my daughter was going to a day centre so it freed up my time a do some work .after 5 months i thought it would be better to return to do agency work .so I sent in my p45 all correspondence was stamped ...now I have received a letter for an interview under caution for carer allowance. I did get a solicitor ...any advice please .I hear they are not to nice .thank you - clear

You should get trained advice from an agency near you. IUC is potentially a serious matter, do you still meet all the requirement to claim CA ?
