giving up work to care for dad
hi i want to give work up to care for my dad who is on PIP and lives by himself. we have a 7 year old girl and my partner is down as carer for her. Problem is my dad says hell loose his benefits if i claimed carers allowance for him. He is 67 and on pension credit and PIP higher rate. Can anyone advise if this is correct and what he would loose. thanks S x

If his PC is more than SDP then the loss is only SDP. If his PC is less than SDP then loss of SDP could result in loss of PC and significant changes to Housing Benefit and Council Tax Reduction.
