Hi all, I work part time and have been claiming Carers Allowance for a few years. Due to the local government pay rise that is current being voted on, I am likely to get back pay in my Oct pay. It will take me over the earnings threshold for carers that month. It won't be a problem for the following month, just that one with the extra money added.What do I do in his situation? Just ring and explain my pay that month was more and pay it back? Will they cancel my claim and get me to reapply? Will they ask for payslips? I know its silly but I've got so much on my mind at the moment and this extra thing to think about is making me feel sick with worry.
