Hi I work in a school so I work 42 weeks of the year but I get the same wage every month iv cut my hours to 17 a week to care for my dad as the man I spoke to about carers allowance said I could earn up to £547 a month and claim, I will be earning £518 a month because my wages are split through 12 months so I don’t go 2 months without any pay so I will earn the same amount every month, does anybody know if this figure is correct ?
Thank you
Paula
