Tried working it out via various ways, however still left in the dark to a degree.

Single under 25. Gets DLA high rate care/low mobility.

What rate per week is IS?

Thanks

Do you live alone (or classed as)? Does anyone receive carers allowance for you? Savings over 6k and under 16k?

Bryando

not for me. Lives alone. No CA and no savings

how do you get that figure?

Bryando

I thought it would be £50.00 IS. Same as me £89.00 per week DLA. Then a premuim. Thats the bit I can't work out. Everything seems to be ESA rather than IS. As I don't think I can use Incapacity Benefit on any benefit checkers?

I was under the impression as he lives alone he would get £30 to £40.00 on top of his IS as he lives alone and the rates of DLA?

The OP knows the difference, hence we are working on the assumption he knows that the friend is entitled to IS. Also, ESA was introduced in 2008 not 2007.

In another thread, Bryando said something about their partner receiving CA for them.

Sounds like they are asking about someone else.
