Hello @littleh Pleased to meet you welcome. Thank you for joining and your question.
I am one of the team of community champions. Who guide, inform, help and advise new members joining.
I am unsure of an answer to your question. Benefits are complex and confusing. There are members of our community who will be able to answer. As will members of our team might be in touch to answer.
One suggestion I have is to contact your local CAB office. They have a wealth of expertise and knowledge on all aspects of benefits.
We are a friendly community. Supportive, care and share.
Please ask if we can advise on anything some one will know from our community or team.
Please take care.

Hi,As your situation is very complex then you need to speak to your local CAB for a full benefits check. It's very difficult to give the correct information on an internet forum without know all of your details/circumstances.

Hi @littleh
As @poppy123456 says, this sounds quite complex so you would be better to speak to the CAB - you can find Citizens Advice Bureau here.
