This is my first post so please bear with me. On saturday I received a letter from the fraud investigation dept re my carers allowance that I receive for my son. At first I thought that there must have been a big mistake, but then I dug out all my paperwork and realised that I shouldn't have claimed carers for possibly the last year and a half as I have been earning too much. I am now so worried at what is going to happen. I thought that I could work up to 35hrs p/w, but didn't realise that I could only earn £95. I am so stupid for not reading my paperwork properly. At the time I originally claimed, my son had just been diagnosed with Autism, Nystagmus, hypermolbility, I was filling in form after form for DLA, tax credits, carers and also paperwork after paperwork in appliying for a statement of special educational needs.And I was not working. I started a part time job at the school my son attends, I let all the relevent people know, then I went full time for a while and told them. Carers took in my payslips and decided I still was ok to have my carers allowence. I then went full time permenantly and didn't phone to tell them. Now I am so worried at what is going to happen to me. I have phoned carers this morning and cancellled my payments and my interview is on Wednesday. I phoned and spoke to one of the investigators this morning he has told me not to worry to much, but that hasn't helped. I am planning on going to the interview and telling them basicly what I have wirrten here.What do you think the outcome will be? I am guilty of being an idiot but not knowingly commiting fraud. Any advice greatfully accepted.
