Advice on benefits

Finance and benefits
1

Hi, just joined the group. My husband has PPMS and is wheelchair bound and hoisted. He is currently on DLA , never been contacted regarding Pip.

We are assessing financial issues and I just wondered if anyone knows if universal credit and all those things are means test on the individual or household? He is on contributions base esa, but I think he should be on income based now…

Any other financial advice in the area would be helpful

universal credits can be good if your husband cannot work he will get a extra payment and also when you go for this and pip always tell them what is happening to your husband on his bad days my wife has good days and bad days on her good days she can do a bit more but on her bad days she cannot do a lot always be as honest as you can with them and also there is more help out there occupational health can also help
