DLA and paying full rent and council tax is this right
Comments

I queried this several times as I was sure they had made a mistake but, we have been getting the help with our rent and c/tax for 6years now. I was told it is because my husband gets the middle rate care and high rate mobility of dla. He gets IB and I get care allowance and my son and daughter both work as I have said with decent salaries, plus my son gets dla to help him with his mobility. I can understand that it does seem odd as I have said I did query it myself but, it was my husbands social worker who first advised us to claim as prior to them helping us we had always paid the full rent.
Yours is correct, it is the care element of DLA which means no non dependent deduction is made.Gone ... or have I?0 -
I am on the higher rate for both DLA components, but this has no effect on my council tax bill, I still pay the full amount.0
