Hi all,
Im currently in receipt of half rate carers allowance, my husband is umemployed and I have recently been offered a job.
I am going to take up the position but my husband will be taking over the caring of our child.
As I understand it the carers allowance should increase to full rate but will my husband have to make a new claim considering the current receipt of the benefit is in my name? Or is it a simple change of details and the payment continues under my husbands name with the increased amount?
Many Thanks for your help.
