I wonder if anyone can offer me any advice in regards to carers allowance?
My ds13 receives DLA due to ASD and severe anxiety. He has currently been out of full time education since September last year. He was awarded DLA in January.
I am currently a mature student and I also worked up until December 2019. I gave up work due to my DS's needs and fellow student friend of mine, on the same course, told me she claimed successfully for carers so I put in a claim for carers allowance.
I explained that my education course expected me to be onsite for 14 hours a week and this was backed up by a letter from my personal tutor. I further explained that on average I spend around 6 hours a week on my work at home.
Today however I have been told that I am not eligible for carers due to being in education.
Has anybody got any advice?
