Hi I have been looking in to Dro / Dmp and wondered if any knew if I count caters allowance and DLA as income? I receive carers allowance for my disabled child and the DLA is for him. Any advice would be appreciated thank you

Carers Allowance yes
His DLA (and yours if you got it) No
Even if you think you may be above £50 surplus, discuss this with your intermediary as you may not be allowing enough in other areas of expenditure.0 -
Thank you for that
I am def over the £50 as I'm currently living with my parents. Trying to get my own place but can't afford due to debt. If I had my own house I would be able to do the dro but I can't get a place and pay all my monthly debts
