Income support


How much is it? I know it all depends on whos in the family and what ages, so:
Me, 28
DH, 40
Jack,3

Im thinking of it for my DH, im on IB, and at the moment im quite poorly so i was looking into what we would be entitled to if he didnt work and cared for me.

I found that we'd be entitled to:
Housing & council tax benefit (would that be all?)
Income support, (dunno how much?)
CTC - again, how much.

Im on long term incapacity benefit.

Is there anyone with similar circumstances, who will share their income with me?

If its long term I would claim DLA, then you can get carers allowance if you get middle or high rate. Not sure how much IS you would get sorry. Good luck tho! x

I get IS the allowance is roughly £65 p/w ish but i get less due to debts.
If he is staying off to care for you you would be better claiming him as a carer

ps.. I'm single mum to 1.. but was getting this before my son was born
