30p a week over the earnings threshold .. which means the Carers Allowance would stop. It doesn't taper like other benefits. You go 1p over the allowed amount you can earn you lose the full £76 Carers Allowance .. So, they've reclaimed ALL the Carers Allowance he's been paid over the years because his average weekly earnings was calculated as 30p a week over the threshold.
So because he earned £96 pound over the threshold spread over those 6 years .. they've reclaimed the full £20,000 he got in carers over that 6 year period.
That's what the issue is.
