Edit…didn’t mean to tag this comment it was carers one
Disability benefits are not means tested so can get it and work.
The carers, you can either get full carers or the carers element,not both. Full carers is means tested so you have to earn less than (I think….) £125 a week but the carers element you receive if you care for a child on disability and you receive universal credit. So you just need to be in receipt of universal credit and child disability. And child disability would automatically entitle you to universal credit as it lifts the benefit cap.
Universal credit is so varied now that working people can get it. That’s probably why they named it that.
I honestly must stress that it’s no easy to claim child disability or carers you need a s ton of evidence and from more than one place it’s not just based on the word of a parent so if people are getting these benefits they’re more than likely entitled to them. It’s evidence from school, home, GP, paeds and whatever else the child attends. You’d never get it on a parents word alone, and it’s looked at by different teams multiple times at DWP or SSS so that they aren’t releasing huge backdated payments by accident.
This isn’t directed at any one and not you fashionma, I just wanted to explain that because I do see people questioning disability benefits quite a lot.
