Hi,Iwould be grateful if someone could explain this to me ,our situation is the OH is on carers benefit which ends in Oct she is on carers leave from her job,her personal and paye credits are offset against carers benefit to pay the tax and the shortfall results in my the balance being reduced in my credits.She applied for carers allowance and was successful which will start the day after benefit finishes.She obviously had to give in notice to her job which was fine but my question is can the tax due on carers allowance still be offset with her personal and paye credit even though she now has no job,iwas told you cant transfer the paye credit so does that mean it cant be offset against the tax due sorry for the long winded question
 
I am not getting a carers allowance but am minding my 90 yr old mother full time and applied for the respite grant last May. I sent off all the forms and Dr's certs etc but i've heard nothing since, I rang them 2 months ago and they did get my application, but nothing since from them. When might I get the grant?
 
Thanks for the quick reply,can i also ask if i can claim the home carers credit on top of the paye credit and personal credit from the oh to offset the tax

its been a good 3 months since you applied, it could unfortunately be another few months until they grant you the payment.

Is there a reason why you don't get carer's allowance or benefit for caring for your mother?
