Hi I wonder if anyone can help. My son has applied for carers allowance for me. He is currently on study leave from school and is doing GCSEs his last exam is 16th June. Will thr DWP class him as being in full time education.

He will be classed as a full time education and will be unable to claim carers allowance for looking after you. https://www.gov.uk/carers-allowance/eligibilityAre you also claiming a Severe disability Premium in another benefit? If so then if someone claims Carers allowance or carers element of UC for looking after you then you will lose the SDP.Are you claiming child Tax credits for your son?
