Hi all new here my daughter left for uni in September and has now decided she wants to move back home and commute. Problem is I am on benefits my husband gets pip and esa. I have been to the local council and they have said that it wouldn't effect housing benefit or council tax unless she works during summer holidays. But then been told if she comes back it might effect my husband disability premium. Can anyone give me any advice she really doesn't want to stay there but I can afford to lose any money especially now.

Thanks 
Kim

    The only disability premium it would affect is the Severe Disability Premium but he would only be receiving this if you're either claiming a qualifying disability benefits yourself such as PIP daily living or DLA mid/high rate care or you're registered blind. Otherwise the only disability premium he would be claiming is Enhanced disability premium and this won't be affected.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    The rate of PIP he receives makes no difference. As i advised he won't be receiving SDP unless this applies to yourself.

    If you don't then your daughter moving back home will not affect the ESA.

    That is not the SDP. That will be the Enhanced disability premium couples rate. This is automatically paid when in the Support Group.
    As i previously advised, if you're not claiming a disability benefit yourself (which i assume you're not because you didn't answer my question) then the ESA will not include the SDP. Your daughter moving back home will not affect the ESA.

    That's because it's not included in the ESA because you're not entitled to it. You seem to be missing the vital point i'm trying to make, which i have mentioned a few times through out the thread.
    As you are not claiming a disability benefit for yourself then you will not be entitled to SDP.
    As advised previously

    The disability Income Guarantee, is otherwise known as Enhanced disability premium.

     Thanks I posted with the letter but it said I had to wait for it to be approved to reply with letter thats why theres two replies one with letter one without . I am not receiving any disability benefits for myself. Thanks for the advice she will be very happy now. 
    If theres still the letter attached to this it's because it's stuck in the box now and I have no idea how to get rid of it. 

    Thanks again
