i was on DLA Incapacitybenefits, I was claiming for my wife along with mine when when I enquired about it they advised me, stop claiming for my wife and she was then paid separate they said when it’s al together we would be £25 a week better off, then we found out that money from careers they then deducted my wife benefits.its all bloody confusing, get back to the PIP’s peeps and ask again and before go to CAB And they will give answer.
good luck I hope things get better.
