I received a letter from DWP saying I can earn £110 a week before my carers allowance is affected,how is this fair?With the new min wage at £7.20 ph working 16hours a week is £115.20 weekly,this means my carers allowance will stop. Please increase the earnings limit in line with the new living wage
