Carers allowance

Hi everyone, my daughter has just been accepted for DLA middle care and low mobility from June. I believe this means I can claim carers allowance. I’ve just left my part time (nights) job last week as it was getting too much for me , i earnt £800. However I left last week, does this mean I can claim cares allowance, as of this week? I won’t be expecting a back payment from carers as my earnings before was over the carers allowance limit
Is this right?
Thank you x

Yes you can. They are brilliant at working it out for you. By time it comes through you will be entitled to some back pay.
Give them a ring.

My partner stopped work to care for his dad and he applied for carer’s, it was done and backdated in a week.

How long did it take to process your careers allowance
