I’m scratching my head.
My carer who is m hubby has just received notice that his carers allowance has been increased by 60p per week…big deal!
I just received my two weekly ESA payment which is 60p less than usual.
So, they have taken 60p away from me and given it to hubby…and that is this years pay rise???
Are you receiving income based ESA? If you are, carers allowance is classed as income, so I think any increase in carers would come off your ESA.
DWP = Don’t Wanna Pay.
OR
DWP = Don’t Work Properly
Yes, income based. It isn’t that bad though…hubby is 60p a week up but I am 30p a week down. So we are better off…by 30p a week!
don’t spend it all at once!
Your going to need the advice of a Financial Advisor on how o invest that.
