Hello does anyone have experience of how this works in practice please? I haven't yet submitted my claim for carer's allowance and this is the part I don't quite understand. I care for an elderly parent with whom I live.
What counts as a holiday? I never go abroad and have multiple monitoring and contingency plans for when I'm away from home in the UK. As well as some replacement care set up. I am always prepared to come straight home and have had to do this in the past. I never go away for as long as a week.
