i recieve disabilty for my daughter,i also now get low rate disability.will this affect my carer’s allowance?

i am worried that my carer’s allowance will be stopped because i now recieve low rate disabilty. has anyone had the same experiance with this kind of thing,and could you please advise me if they can take my carer’s allowance away.my partner works full time,but i cannot work due to several illness’s.so the family relys on this money to help us get by. i have been diagnosed with severe depression,panic attacks and social anxiety.have also been diagnosed with chronic pain. even though i have these and other illness’s i still look after my autistic daughter,and am up till the early hours of the morning as she also has a sleep dissorder.i do more than 35 hours of full time care in a matter of 3/4 days. can anyone please help me with some kind genuine advice please.have tried ringing the uk helpline but they are closed,and because of my panic and high anxiety levels i am worrying myself sick.can anybody help me with this,monday seems forever away,and its causing a lot of stress.thanks xx

hiya you lol,well i am afraid to say,that you only get more money if you are on the higher rate disability,this happened to me,when my rate was dropped ,so did the tax credit,which sounds stupid,but you know what the government is like.
Then i applied again,and got the higher rate,so payments went up.dont ask me how they work it out,but what i do know ,for definate is,they look up illnesses on the internet,and this is how they rate a persons disability.someone rang me asking me how the fybro affects me,and she was the one who told me.
but if you choose to work 16 hrs a week this would not effect your amount you get.

speak real soon
love me.
