Hi,
I previously claimed carers allowance whilst I was on unpaid maternity leave with my son. I am now due baby number 2 in a few weeks and will be paid SMP by my employer. My son will remain in childcare whilst I am on maternity leave am I correct in thinking that I can deduct the childcare costs from my SMP salary and therefore claim carers allowance as it will take me below the limit.
Thanks
