If you're on income based, yes. You'll get premiums for children (and their disabilities) within tax credits.

He should get the disability premium on top of his normal JSA rate. Is he claiming for you both ?

I assume the child is not included in the JSA claim ?

earwig

hi yes we get the child rate through child tax credit we got that when he worked to the amount never changed do you know how much his disabilty rate would be with jsa please

It would be £28 a week. Any savings over £6000 and your income will reduce this.

£28 is for single claimant. It's 39.85 pw for a couple. the amount the law says you need to live on will be 102.75 + 39.85. Any income coming in or any savings over £6K will reduce this.

DLA is paid in addition to this as is tax credit

thanks so we should get 102 per week jsa and then 38 per week in disablity rates as well as the high rate mobilty dla we get because we are a couple and child tax credits pay for our two children and they already pay a disabilty rate for my dd and that should continue have i got that right thanks

Yes, providing that the DLA continues.
