Has Anyone Gone Back To Work And Still Recieving D.l.a

I am going to see a job broker about trying to get back into part time work
i know i will no longer get IB but people say that i will get DLA still the thing that worries me is that when you start back at work will they be thinking that you no longer need Dla because you are capable of working etc. Has this happened to anyone, i wouldnt like to think that i was working for nothing.
Thankyou

    If your condition has not changed and you still have the same care and mobility needs you should continue to receive DLA, it is though possible that it will be reviewed if you start work. Many people work and receive DLA.

    Yes, you should still get your DLA. I get mine although now at a lower rate. You will also be entitled to the disability component of the WTC which is worth around £2000 a year.
  • Thankyou for replys, not sure if i would get working tax credits because my husband works.

    My son works fulltime and he get high rate mobility and low care, if he did not have his car through this scheme he would have had to give up his job,.
