No one to look after me. was created by Pip
Ok, I need some help…
My mum and carer just died,
My mum has a house that 2 children will own.
But my benefits confuse me, I’d be no better off if I lost my benefits.
I’m in a wheelchair to go longer distances as can walk far.
So the money will just top up my total amount.
I was struggling to pay for bills and food as well as care.
I’m on ESA income related with a contribution over lap.
Disability/premium
Housing benefit
Pip highest both
My mother was above pension age and had a disability although I don’t think she registered it as a disability.
Please help…

Your situation is too complicated for us to provide specific answers on the forum, you need to get local advice from a trained advisor. See
advicelocal.uk/
A lot will depend on what happens with the house, you live in it, you keep it but don't live in it. or you sell it?
Your Contribution ESA should be safe whatever you do but some of the possible scenarios would see you lose the Income Related ESA, Premium and Housing Benefit.

If you still need advice then go and see a Welfare Rights officer at your local advice centre
I've already explained that your situation is too complicated for anybody on the forum to offer more detailed advice.

I read your advice, thank you anyway.
I didn’t spend £20 joining the forum to be told it’s complicated, or to get a contact I already had.
If you gave good advice to everyone you could have a great site, sorry for ranting.
