Carers allowance and allowable expenses

Hi

So I am awaiting my decision from carers allowance I think I am on my 5th week since I put in the application online so I am really hoping I’ll get an answer soon…

Just wondered if anyone could answer this is the meantime as I am totally new to all this…

So at the moment I work 20 hours a week and earn £681 per month which is over the earnings limit but I have childcare costs of around £600 per month which I put on the carers allowance form so just wondering if with those finances the carers allowance would be accepted?

Thanks everyone for your time x
