carers allowance term time
Tue 13-May-08 04:33 PM

My client works in a school 39 weeks full time a year but is paid an average wage over 52 weeks. If she gets paid term time only instead could she get carer's allowance durings the holidays?

If she is not working and not receiving wages during term time, then there is no reason why she shouldn't receive CA, if claimed for that period.
