Hi does anyone know if I am allowed to earn anything while claiming carers allowance and income support please. I am at home caring full time for my parent and would like to be selling my crafts to earn enough to live on. Many thanks.

In principle you can earn up to £104 a week (you should check the amount with the DWP before starting), without it affecting your IS, however, any income will be deducted from your IS £ for £ after a disregard of £5 if you are single, £10 if you are part of a couple and £20 if you qualify for the Disability Premium.
