disability living benefits

[ginapeterb]

Your husband's benefits should bare no relationship to your being in the UK, if your husband has qualfied for DLA that is not means tested, the benefit is needs based and therefore is universally applied on qualification.

He should not loose any of his benefits due to your arrival in the UK, unless of couse you have not furnished us with the full facts.

The only thing he should lose is the 25% single occupant discount. When you say "but all the benefits also",what other benefits do you mean?

I'm presuming he's receiving some sort of additional council tax benefit as well which he would lose.

one thing you do need to make sure of, is that he doesn't receive more money of any benefit's because your living with him.

How about if your BF/husband receives disability benefit and he wants to settle in the Philippines. Can he still claim/receive his benefit?
Thanks in advance
