Hi,
My partner is a full time carer for our son and im currently unemployed just about to be means tested for Jobseekers Allowance!
My question is with regards to the means test?
Will my partners Carers be included in the means test or how will it be calculated?
Currently on Jobseekers benefit im getting the 188 and half rate for our 3 children!
Will this be reduced because of the carers allowance?
