    That sounds about right to me - you will continue to receive your DLA assuming you still meet the criteria.
    Gone ... or have I?

    now iam really confused

    Entitlementper yearper weeknotesMeans-tested income entitlementsTax Credits-Initial Tax Credit£5,591.80£107.24 Tax Credits£5,591.80£107.24Working tax credit Means-tested bill reductionsHousing Benefit£470.88£9.03Your full rent of £62.00 per week will be reduced by £9.03 per week because of your entitlement to Housing Benefit. This means you will have to pay £52.97 each week. Our calculation is based on you receiving £107.24 from working tax credit. Total Entitlements£6,062.68£116.27 weekly

    says nothing about the dla i get or if i would get any income support still of council tax and is the rent thing above correct ????

    could someone brake this down i dont no if this is write or what

    Working tax credits per week = £107.24
    Housing benefit per week = £9.03 You have to pay £52.97 per week

    You will not be entitled to IS when you start work, your DLA will not change.
    *SIGH*
