I have just put in a claim for carer's allowance. I am self employed and need to submit my most recent accounts.
I have accounts made up til april this year. Do i just submit the final summary sheet showing income and allowable expenses and profit made.
Or do they need the actual accounts book for the full year (bulky to post!) Showing exactly what has been taken in and spent for every week of the year!
The summary sheet should be sufficient. If it's not enough information they can always ask for more and don't send original documents like your accounts book without asking first. You want to know how you're going to get it back!
