Hi all,
I've searched the forums and can't find anything on this topic. But apologies if there's a thread on this - if so please point me in its direction.
I have just taken early retirement on a much reduced work pension to care for my Mum who broke her hip in August and is very immobile with other physical and health limitations, happily she has full capacity. She gets the higher level Attendance Allowance and I'm hoping to get Carer's Allowance.
I have relocated 160 miles to move in with my parents to be Mum's main carer and I'm in the process of selling my house to buy somewhere in the area as a bolt hole on my two days off a week.
Mum uses her AA to pay for carers the two days I'm off, however would she be able to pay me, a live in member of her family, some of her AA as part of the £132 carers are allowed to earn before it affects their CA?
Just want to keep everything above board and within regulations.
Thanks
