income support interview? want bank statements etc

No need to worry they call everyone in for an interview. You will get one every 3 years after the first one. have you claimed carers allowance as this will give you an extra £34 a week on income support. Also you get extra tax credits on dla.

I called tax credits but since he only gets the lowest dla I don't think I can get carers but I will be asking when I go this week

I think that my sons dla is what it's all about there's no signature at the end of the letter but it says personal advisor so don't think it can be that bad?

it's just come at a really bad time as my son was only officially diagnosed on Wednesday even though we already knew it was cerebral palsy as he has all the symptoms

I still dont think its anything to worry about, you will get extra on your tax credits. you have to have middle rate care to claim carers allowance.

Electricity, gas, water rates, council tax and many other suppliers all produce bills. If you don't receive the paper ones, print off your bills from your online accounts.

I know someone who ended up in hospital due to stress over this interview. They had nothing to hide and the interview was just done by some box-checking pen-pusher. They closed the case at the end of the interview.

Please don't worry yourself ill.
