"If somebody applies for this [benefit] and it stops another benefit, I wouldn't sleep at night," he revealed.

Maybe people on these forums that give more tailored advice might feel the same, so wondered the the powers above have ever checked?

As this isn't directly a question about benefits entitlement, we'll draw this to a close, but I'll simply note that our Forum rules include this section:

Look out for other community members

No one knows what another person may be going through. We expect you to report any post that gives you concern for another person's wellbeing or safety. Although we may not be in a position to offer direct support ourselves, we can signpost community members to organisations that may be able to help.
