Im sure you can get carers allowance and it wont affect ctc but they do ask you on ctc form if you recivce a taxable benefit and C.A. is.( someone else may know more) but you are entitled to C.A. if you dont work and care for someone who gets D.L.A middle rate or high rate for 35 hours or more a week.

Hi. It won't affect ctc but you do have to tell them, also do ctc know your getting middle rate care 4your son as there is a disabled child component that you are entitled to as well (at least till gov change their policies again)
