Can you claim it more than once if you care for 2 eligible people at the same time?

carers allowance is only paid once, even if you looked after 10 ppl you can only get one lot, sorry

I'm sure they are both right. Someone else on here claims for her DH and DH claims for their DC.

I loose my CA when I go to college full time in Sep. Even tho obviously I'm still caring for my DD, ever so slightly OVER 35 hours a week! I dont get it. Its not like i'm going to be earning (exactly the opposite in fact, I'll end up £thousands in debt)

Think you can only work (or be in college?) under 16 hours/week. Madness, when DS is in school longer than 16 hours during term time.
