Carers allowance was created by Gaffer147

Hi,after being awarded pip (enhanced daily living and standard mobility) a couple of months ago,a friend of mine suggested that my partner should apply for carers allowance,she works 12 hours a week,but, somebody says that I should be careful of this,because the dwp might take off,some of my other benefits off,and that may result in actually being worse off,please could you help me in this, as I am really confused... I am currently on Esa support group ( contribution based) thankyou

Carers Allowance can affect Income Related ESA but if you are only receiving ESA(CB) then it won't.

Your partner needs to be able to provide a minimum of 35 hours of care a week and their earnings must be less than £123 a week after tax, national insurance and expenses.
