HI,Unfortunately, it's not possible for your sister to claim Carers Allowance and for your husband to claim carers element at the same time. This is because they are benefits that can be claimed while caring for someone.Hope this helps clear things up for you.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.

The yes, if your huisband cancels the cares element then your sister can claim carers allowance but do be aware than if she works again anytime in the future then she'll need to earn less than £128 per week after deductions. Anything more than this and she won't be entitled to any carers allowance. https://www.gov.uk/carers-allowance/eligibility Carers allowance is also taxable income.It may also be worth her getting a benefits check done with her local advice agency to see if she's entitled to any other benefits.
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.
