    Hi @MumsyWumsy35 and a warm welcome to the community from me!

    Your pip won't be impacted by this at all but your housing benefit and universal credit could potentially be. It is best to speak to a qualified benefit adviser about this as this is quite a complex topic 😊

    It's lovely to have you here and i hope you enjoy your time on the community.

    I'm in a similar position, my 77 year old Dad has Dementia, and I'm concerned I might have to move back Home at some point to help Mum look after him because my Brother lives in London, works full time and is married with 2 demanding kids.
