Carers allowance overpayment
I am about to see a client ref a CA overpayment as she has earned slightly over earnings threshold.
I know when IS or PC is claimed an INF4 is given that warns clients of responsibilities and also mentions £6000-£16000 figures etc. Is there an equivalent given to CA claimants, and are clients informed annually by the department of the new earnings threshold or are they expected to find out?
Thanks
The claim form guidance notes include references to the earnings limit.

I don’t know whether the annual update letters include this information.
