    I'm assuming you are talking about DLA? If so DLA doesn't affect your other benefits so they must have stopped your IS for another reason.

    Why did you receive IS? Was it because you are a single parent? If so, how old are your children?

    Your posts are very difficult to read.

    Who is the DLA for? When did you stop receiving IS?

    If you are not fit for work, you need to claim ESA? If ESA say that you are fit for work, you need to claim JSA and look for a job.

    Your daughter would need to be receiving middle rate care in order for you to claim Carers Allowance and IS. You will need to claim JSA and look for a job.
