    Hi @palmer1967

    A very big welcome to our online community/website.

    We have got lots off info with regards to Benefits on our home page.

    Thereis also a Benefit Calculator where you can find out what you are able to claim for.

    We have also got a Benefit Advisor which would be a good starting point for you.

    Hi @palmer1967,

    Welcome to Scope's online community! It's great to have you here.

    I'm sorry to hear about the situation you are in - it sounds like a really stressful time for you.

    As @steve51 mentions above, we do have an Ask a Benefits Advisor category, which I have moved this post into. @BenefitsTrainingCo, can you help?

    Hi palmer1967,

    Your ESA should not stop just because of your son's circumstances and neither should your HB. If you are receiving DLA there should still be no charge deducted from your Housing Benefit because your son has started work. I can't see how your benefits will be affected at all.
