    HI and welcome,

    If you're asking about working and claiming carers allowance then yes, providing you don't earn anymore than £123 per week after deductions and the person you're caring for claims a qualifying benefit such as PIP daily living, DLA mid.high rate care or Attendance Allowance, then you can claim. Details here. https://www.gov.uk/carers-allowance/eligibility

    If you have any further questions then please do ask.


    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.
