    As long as she is still in full time non advanced education, her earnings will not affect your income.

    You're fine then, but obviously things will change once she leaves college. Perhaps you could ask her to start putting some aside for when you lose your child related benefits, as she'll be expected to contribute to the household then.

    Why can't you get back into work ? Why still on income support if you are disabled ? I am disabled myself but I go to work!

    Plenty of people are still on IS for disability reasons. As for the OP's reasons for not working, that is none of your business.

    Those on IS will be transferred to ESA over the next few years. You come across as very bitter!
