See fallingstar’s post crazyH. It’s all to do with someone not working after receiving their pension - rather than a younger person either having to give up work to care, or going part-time etc so they could contribute the 35 hours per week to qualify as a carer.
Like a cracked record I will say again that I was turned down for carers allowance and refused again on appeal. Obviously looking after a 12 year old stroke victim didn’t count - our GP was furious. Now, I’d just tell them where to stick it!!
