Hi S1,

As advised previously in this thread, :

You do not have to attend WFI's if you are in receipt of Carers Allowance, or the Carers Premium.

I did provide you with a link to the actual legislation, so that you could print it off as back up.

Hi S1,

Are you sure that you are in receipt of the "Carer Premium", for giving care to someone else, if so the above applies.

Receipt of Disability Premiums does not give any exemption.

Hi S1,

If it is you that receives the "Care", rather than you giving the "Care" to someone else, it is unlikely that you will be in receipt of Carers Allowance, or The Carers Premium.

I have a feeling that you may be in receipt of Disabilty Premiums, due to your receipt of Middle or Higer Rate Care Component of DLA.

You would need to get advice on this, to be sure, please see :
