in PIP, DLA, ADP and AA

My hubby is on uc and limited work capacity and should be on pip. But was denied it at our tribunal this week devastated beyond belief my hubby is very ill and having treatment im his unpaid carer .

We are struggling financially so i may be forced to go to work and leave my hubby at home and struggle just dont know what else to do speaking to our representative about our decision on the tribunal hearing tomorrow

Does anyone know if i go to work will my hubby lose his limited work capability benefit

Its hard as im dealing with oa of my hands and spine too

Any advise really appreciated

    He won't lose his limited capability for work as such.

    However your wages will cause the standard UC deduction of 0.55p for every pound earned, once you earn over £411 (if claiming Housing Element) or £684 (if not) a month.

    You can use a benefits calculator to estimate various scenarios

    Sorry your tribunal decision was not what you wanted. You can reapply for PIP. Can you not claim Carers Allowance?
