It's 18.5 hours since the 1st of January 2020.

For Carer's Benefit, the earning limits seem to have been set as follows:
"The weekly income in respect of employment and self-employment must not exceed €350.00. (Prior to June 2022, this was €332.50)."

I'd say your best option is to contact DSP and ask them.
