My wife receives the lower level of DLA mobility and care allowance. However her health means she would not be able to keep FT or PT work. However she is desperate to work even a few hours a week. How would the following work out and what affect is it likely to have on our benefits?
Working 3 hours a week. Income from work £30
Current benefits:
Wife: DLA lower rates
Me: Incapacity Benefit and Income Support
Full Housing Benefit.
Full Council Tax Benefit
1 non dependent, (son) working part time.
