When I was working and claiming Carers allowance for my disabled son I paid no contribution.
I am now not working and in support group ESA (income based) and have to pay a contribution
So they take into account your ESA but not your wages.
Can someone explain to me please??
I'm sorry but this is not a benefit that we deal with on the forum I would recommend that you get face to face advice from a trained advisor.
