Hi there

Yes he can claim carers as long as he is eligible

If he cares for you for over 35 hours a week and his earnings are below the threshold

If you claim sdp this would stop so be aware

Is he claiming any other benefits besides PIP?

Do you know if this is income based ESA or is it contribution based ESA or new style ESA?
