Carers Allowance

Posts: 64 Forumite
Hello,
my son lives with me and is my carer, he doesn't claim carers as of yet. If he claims carers would it affect my benefits? I get PIP enhanced rate for both mobility and daily living and I get a disability premium (not severe disability) on top of my ESA.
I've been trying to find out about this for a few months but don't see to be able to find the answer, all I keep seeing is that if I was getting severe disability premium then that would go to whoever is caring, but as I said I don't get that.
Thanks in advance

Your benefits won't be affected. They'd only be affected if you claimed the severe disability premium.Sealed pot challenge #232. Gold stars from Sue-UU - :staradmin :staradmin £75.29 banked
