Will my son have to pay rent while receiving PIP?

Kez525

I am in receipt of pip daily living and carers for my disabled son. My eldest son now has 20 hour week. Job so can't claim carers for me and I've lost my. Severe disability premium for myself. Will my son have to contribute to the rent now even though I receive pip

Hi @Kez525

Great to meet you! It's no problem I can move your post to our PIP/DLA discussion, where I'm sure one of our members can help!

There's no non dependent deductions for you because you're receiving daily living PIP.

Just to add, is the PIP award yours and not your son's because you say you receive carers allowance? If the PIP award is yours then the above advice is correct.
