need a quick answer about carers allowance!!!

[Fio2]

how much doi you get a week if it is at the highest rate? and how much is that over 52 weeks?

can you tell i am filling out my tax credits form!

TIA

AS far as I know it is all one rate. I think it is paid x4 weekly too at £182.80. That makes £45.70 p/week and £2376 P/A.

....but don't take my word for it.

i may aswell bang my head up against the montior

in the end I had to phone as there system kept crasdhing when i tried to do it online, argh.

Thanks Dingle btw

where do you fill this in on the tax credit form?

You have to include it in your income calculation chatee.

when i did mine last year over the phone with them they said it wasn't included as i didn't earn enough-now am worried that they've cocked up......oh could do without this worry atm xx

i was told as well that i don't need to include this am worried now

I've just had a look at the 'Notes' booklet. It says that you have to include certain taxable social security benefits including carers. But I think it's different if you are on income support.

it comes under social security payments, i wouldnt worry i dont think it really affects anything

i just worked it out with and without the C/A and the amount is the same so i'm not that bothered
