My son who is 24 who has aspergers has just been informed his ESA is stopped,after assesment,will I stop getting carers allowance now?
Replies
Carers allowance is if a claimant receives PIP not ESA so unless there has been any other change then your carers will continue
Have you asked for a copy of the assessment report ?
Have you asked for an MR ?
