CHILD AND WORKING TAX CREDIT
CHILD BENIFIT
DISABILITY (HUSAND IS EPILEPTIC BUT ONLY HAS FITS AT NIGHT AND THEY ARE CONTROLED BY MEDICATION)

You need to report to all the different people about the change in circumstances.

Any Disability Living Allowance is not affected.

If you are receiving Carer's Allowance it will stop because of your full time work.

No need for :mad: , people always try to help but aren't always online reading every post all the time.

Have a look at https://www.entitledto.co.uk - there is a calculator there which could give you a rough idea.

If you wage is going to be similar to your husbands is now then you will lose your CA. Child benefit won't change. Is it DLA or DWA your husband gets? If it's DWA he might need to apply for DLA instead but I don't know, you'll need to call them and find out.

Housing and tax credits will be affected slightly by the loss of CA I think but I think they can still count you as a carer even if you don't get CA, again not totally sure.
