My son (25) is my full time carer. He lives at home with me. He gets CA and IC. Is he entitled to any other help?

I assume you are claiming DLA/PIP.
Are you also claiming ESA?
Do you get HB/LHA/council tax support?
IC?
Do you mean Income Support (on the grounds of caring responsibilities) or do you mean Incapacity Benefit (on his own right).
Is he disabled in any way?0 -
Yes I meant income support.
I claim DLA and ESA (support group)Me transmitte sursum, caledoni0 -
Because he's on an income based benefit, he'll get things like free dental care, prescriptions, etc. Because he lives with you, he can't get housing benefit or council tax support.Sealed pot challenge #232. Gold stars from Sue-UU - :staradmin :staradmin £75.29 banked

He got a free eye test, so that's good. Thank you for your advice.Me transmitte sursum, caledoni0
