    Why have they stopped? Income too high? In hospital? Other?

    it is not for me , my niece is on dla and her hubby was on benefits, they were stopped because he was working part time and went over hours allowed, but l am more worried how she will manage, and yes l do agree he is wrong to have done it .

    If he's working more than 16 hrs a week they will be able to claim working tax credits I believe. As they live as a couple they would need to claim as a couple for other benefits. Always worth while applying for them, they can only say no.
