Carer's allowance and earnings
Tue 26-Oct-04 10:54 AM

A woman is on maternity leave and getting SMP. Her son gets middle rate DLA care. Does anyone know, if she claims Carer's Allowance will the SMP count as earnings?

I think so as it appears to be covered by reg 9 (1) (j) Social Security (Computation of Earnings) Regulations SI 1996/2745.

Many thanks

Shaun
