HI,

May i ask if your son is student?

Lee123

Yes he does cumpruter work at home

Did he tell them he's still a student when he claimed the carers allowance? Students are unable to claim carers allowance. If he didn't tell them then he needs to ring them and report this and the carers allowance will stop.

I also note that you're claiming ESA. Does anyone else live with you at home? or is it just yourself and your son?

Lee123

He is not a student sorry he just does he's on work on computer

Lee123

Yes others live with me younger siblings

Is that an issue

You say he works on his pc does he earn a wage? also depending on a number of other factors you might be entitled to SDP .

May i ask if you're still claiming child benefit for the son that's just claimed Carers allowance? Yes claiming the severe disability premium may also be possible for yourself  here.
