    If your ESA includes the Severe disability Premium you will lose that unless your son/daughter are either registered blind or claiming either PIP daily living or DLA mid/high rate care theirself.

    If you're claiming help with the rent, if there's a shortfall of housing benefit you would be entitled to extra housing benefit.

    Council Tax reduction may also be affected and you would lose any single person discount you may already be claiming.
