Weeks, not months, in my experience.
And dont forget that working carers can deduct expenses like child-care or respite, pension payments, tax and NI, and travel expenses, so the real earnings threshold is way above the apparent £100 limit. If you earn £100 a week or more after deductions, but less than £200 per week, consider the potential benefits of opting into a private pension plan and/ or employing someone to provide some respite care, spending this extra money can often give you more to live on each week and even build up a nice little nest egg for the future.
