Aesop is right. Esa is a separate benefit / department and it's up to you to communicate regarding Dla separately. I'm surprised they didn't tell you this at the time. But at least dla increases your entitlement to hb and ctb when bf stops paying the bills, ( i'm sure you mentioned this somewhere recently.)

Have a good holiday.

HI, you are still entitled to the DLA because of your condition, it does not matter if BF is living with you or not. But call them on Monday and decide what you want to do then.

I'm ok, promised to take DS to a seaside like place we have locally. As it is sunny today, have to keep to my promise. We live in the city, so it is manmade, but nice.

Are you any good at drawing HI? I am trying to find a nice clipart of family cartoon style. I found one I liked, but I think it is copyrighted and belongs to the company I found it via.

DLA is yours to keep whatever your other circumstances.
It is awarded because of your illness and there is no need to notify them of a change of circumstances unless your condtion changes IYSWIM?It is not means tested in any way. Have they awarded you care?.You will be able to treat yourself :j :j
