My wife gets DLA High rate mobility componet and also SDA, I get ESA income based in the work related activity group. Also we have 2 children 17 and 13. In my esa money they deduct my wifes SDA money from the esa I get, Is this right? Also we claim tax credits should this be with a disability premium? Thankyou for the help.

Are you claiming as a couple, only one of you claim esa with the others name on the claim...I always take the moral high ground, it's lovely up here...0

Forgive me for asking, but how are you claiming tax credits when you are both on out of work benefits (SDA and ESA)?0

You claim tax credits if you have children and on benefits, you do not have to be employed..
They should get approx £400pm in tcs on top of everything else..I always take the moral high ground, it's lovely up here...0 -
Yes! that's Child Tax Credits. The OP appears to be asking about Working Tax Credits!0

Then how can he be on income related esa, if that was the case he'd be on contribution based.
Where does it say she's employed, it says shes on SDA and HRM DLA, nothing there about employment..I always take the moral high ground, it's lovely up here...0 -

Hubby wouldn't be on IR ESA if wife working, I think they are talking about severe disability allowance, I may be wrong though..
Think op should clarify..I always take the moral high ground, it's lovely up here...0 -
I did get contribution paid esa for 12 months then went onto income related esa, and it is child tax credits. My wife does not work as she is disabled. Just asking should we be getting a dla premium in the child tax credits and should my wifes sda be coming out of my esa money? Thankyou0

only if you have a child that gets DLA.
why would a disability premium be paid for an adult when the benefit is for the CHILD?0 -
