hello mods. i will try to be as brief as i can i am male and 63 and live on my own in a council one bed flat. i receive pip enhanced on both elements, esa support group. my brother jim is 59 lives on his own in a council one bed (plus a box room)flat, he is on esa support group, both of our daughters are our unofficial carers. my question is ; if i move into his flat how would it affect our benefits. thank you in advance
We cannot answer your question as we do not have enough information, you say both your daughters are 'our unofficial carers' , the first question I would ask is do you and your brother receive a SDP with your ESA, if only one of you receive this premium then you would loose it if you moved in together, if you both received it then you would still keep the premium.
I would advise you to seek face to face advice from your local welfare rights unit. If you move into a one bed flat to be together that may cause issues if you need your own space at any time.
