    Is the direct payment to pay for extra support that you receive? If so then this will not affect any of your benefits. If it's your earnings then yes the earnings limit will apply.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
