    You would lose the severe disablement premium.

    Council Tax liability would likely rise.

    You'd no longer pay the bedroom tax.

    There would be no non dependant deduction on your HB because of the Daily Living PIP. 
  • Apart from the financial side of things will you be able to cope with the 2 small children. It's a big commitment having family move back in if you are used to living alone.
