Tax credit/carers allowance help

[Nettle80]

Ive just been accepted to claim CA I’m trying to do a change of circumstances on our tax credits. It’s asking me if I’m working. Is caring for my disabled DD classes as work? How many hours would I put down? Thank you 😊

its based upon your earnings for paid work after things like childcare get taken off. but CA is a taxable benefit. Actually it's probably better to just phone them

CA is classed as a taxable benefit, not income from employment. Just give them a call.
