Hi

I receive carer's allowance for my autistic daughter. I have the opportunity of a job working from home during the hours when she is in school. I would be earning less than €230 per week. Does anybody know how this would affect my carer's allowance? Would my carer's allowance be reduced or even stopped altogether? My husband is not working due to injury but is not receiving any benefit as he was self-employed before his accident. We are really struggling to survive on the carers allowance as there is no other money coming in. If I do take the job would my carers payments be suspended while they review my circumstances? Also what would the tax situation on my earnings be?

Any advice would be much appreciated.
