I’m after some advice was created by Mel
My son left school in 2022 and apart from doing work experience in retail he hasn’t had a job.
He has however been a bit of an unpaid carer for me as I have SPMS. However as my MS has progressed and I now have a carer who can drive and do more personal things for me so he wants to go and get a his first job.
My question is if he does get employment, does anyone know what might the changes be in my benefits? I claim DLA, ESA and UC.
Many thanks for any advice
Mel 😊

Hi Mel
In that case you won't get any Non Dependant Deductions or Housing Cost Contributions taken off your UC. You will have to check with the Council Tax department if there is an effect with them.
