Gigi, they shouldn't take into account previous earnings for this financial year
Yes I was going to say that as they did ant do that to me.
This I did-along with an addendum to let them know when my last official working day would be..that was 07/01/08
May - be its just that they calculated your income on the day you made the claim so your income was to high.
They take into account any future
paid holiday, that you may of been
entitled to from work, but have not taken , but been paid for by your
employer when you left .
Just appeal against it
sure your get it as long as your not over 65 .
does anyone know if my son can claim carers allowance? He is on Job Seekers allowance.
(you have to make a Claim for
income support )
Then what happen you get carer allowance of £48.65 and income support top it up to £86.30 a week .
You have to tell Job seekers allowance that you are going to make a claim for carer allowance and income support , they stop the Job seekers allowance.
all money is back dated .
That only happen if your claiming incapacity benefit , you get an underlying entitlement of carer allowance .
if you receive CA then the person you care for cannot receive the Severe Disability Premium.
only if you get incapacity benefit, underlying entitlement of carer allowance .
when I stop getting incapacity benefit , they stop my mother getting Severe Disability Premium , because I stop getting underlying entitlement of carer allowance, was getting the full amount of CA .
They said I had a choice of getting Severe Disability Premium for my mother or full carer allowance, for me, but can't get the both .
So carer allowance was more money then Severe Disability Premium for my mother , so took carer allowance.
complicated or what ! , but simple when you learn your way around it , after it happen to you .
PS They another severe disability
benefit, (that is different benefit from Severe Disability Premium ) you would of had to be in the war, or work related accident to get severe disability
benefit.
