EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This Note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation.)
Social Welfare legislation currently provides that a person in receipt of Carer's Benefit may engage in employment or self-employment outside the home, subject to a maximum of ten hours per week and an income ceiling of Eur 95.23. These Regulations increase the income ceiling to Eur 150 per week effective from 3 April, 2003.
These Regulations also provide for increases in the income disregarded for the purposes of Carer's Allowance. In the case of a single person, the increase is Eur 19 per week, bringing the total amount of the disregard to Eur 210. In the case of a married person, the disregard is increased by Eur 38 per week, a new total of Eur 420. These changes take effect from 3 April, 2003.
