Allowable Deductions for Carers Allowance. was created by caravanj
It doesn't apply to me as I'm 70 yrs but I'm trying to help someone else.

The DWP guide states" you earn no more than £110 a week (after taxes, care costs while you’re at work and 50% of what you pay into your pension)".

Are there any other allowable deductions such as travel to work costs etc. & if so can travel by taxi be counted?

Thanks for your help.
