My son is severely disabled and turns 18 in Nov, he will move from a children's to an adult home where he has a 365 day placement. However he is at home overnight 2 nights plus 1 evening every week. I have been claiming child benefit and child tax credit plus pip for the overnights. The new home want pip full time plus ESA, meaning i can't claim child benefit or tax credit and will lose the pip, even though he is still coming home as before. I there anything I can do ?

Hi @amandajane1997, hopefully our benefits advisor will be able to provide you with further information on this, but as CR says, do feel free to give the Scope helpline a call on 0808 800 3333.

Hi amandajane1997,
Is your son a full-time student and who funds his stay at the home?
