Carer's Allowance earning limit to increase from April 2015
Posted: 24 Feb 2015, 18:4624 February 2015
From 6 April 2015 new regulations will mean the earnings limit for Carer's Allowance will increase from £102 to £110 per week.
This means that carers can earn up to this amount each week and still qualify for Carer's Allowance. It also means that it is possible to claim Carers Allowance and work 16 hours on minimum wage, which may entitle some carers to extra financial help through Working Tax Credits.
