You cannot get carers allowance if you earn over £95 a week ..
Can i ask apart from dla what else does your partner claim does he get income support i have to ask how you pay rent and council tax so i can help ...if he gets income support as well you wont be able to work because it will effect his income support as well,
Answer by Lestat
If your earning are over £95 per week you will loose your CA. You should also be claiming Income support and getting full council tax and hosuing benefit.
