Help - DLA How Much Can I Earn?

Posts: 103 Forumite
Hi due to health issues I have had to give up my job. I receive DLA High rate for mobility and Mid rate for care. I also get Housing benefit and only pay £36 for my council tax.
I feel I could work a couple of hours maybe 3 days a week. How much can I earn before my benefits are affected? I would love to work full time but I know I cant. I miss going to work and feeling worthwhile. Thanks for your advice. x

DLA isn't affected. However, you can't take a job which contradicts your care and /or mobility needs.Sealed pot challenge #232. Gold stars from Sue-UU - :staradmin :staradmin £75.29 banked

You can earn what you want on DLA. It's not means tested and you are allowed to work on it, I do.
But if you recieve any other benefits they may be affected.0 -
