Mon 21 Aug 2006 00:03Demilea, which type of tax credit are you getting?
In theory, if you qualify for carer's allowance (even if you don't actually get it) that adds a £25 premium onto the income support limit, and I'm fairly sure the same goes for housing benefit. Best to check with the CAB or equivalent though.

I work for The Princess Royal Trust for Carers, if you look down the right hand side of this post there are some links with benefits information.
However if you email web@carers.org with the town where you live I will also be able to give you your local Carers' Centre details and they will be able to give you more specific advice.
Kind regards
Cheryl
The Trust
