When will they catch up with Carer’s Allowance?
I got a freelance job at the end of January and notified them that my status would be changing.
I submitted my first invoice late in February and received my first pay cheque late in March. I went back on and notified them again, this time telling them to stop my Carer’s Alllowance. I’d heard that it might take them eight weeks to catch up, so I’ve just been setting the money aside and waiting for them to stop paying and call back the excess.
It’s now been nearly twelve weeks and they’re still paying out every Monday and it’s starting to worry me. I’m still just putting the money aside, but this is getting silly now.
TLDR: I’ve used the “report a change in status” page twice, but they’re still paying me 12 weeks after I started earning above the threshold.
