    I hope someone can advise me.
    My son receives Domicillary carers allowance as he was born with a rare condition. i think i am therefore able to claim carers benefit but at the moment i work 17.5 hours per week so i know this is not allowed.
    1. is it possible to take parental leave to decrease my hours? as in the current climate i dont really want to give up hours I may want in the future.
    2.Also i know there is a maximum amount u are allowed to earn. it this gross or net pay?
    thanks

    You only need to cut the hours working by 2½ each week.

    thanks for the reply.
    at the moment i work 35 hrs one week and off second week but i am changing to 3 day week/ 2 day week after xmas so was going to take 1 day parental leave on the 3 day week so this would bring me down to 14 hrs per week.
