Worried Son is being Overpaid was created by FionaAli
Hello Everyone,

I do hope someone can help me!

My son is 24 years old Severely Autistic (Non verbal) and is in a NAS run facility. He has his own tenancy.

I am worried he is receiving TOO much UC. He is on the highest Adult Disability Payment (Scotland) for Care and Motability.

He also receives £727.87 per month. I think it is UC and ESA???? We live in Scotland.

Could anyone advise as to how much he should be getting.

Many thanks

Fiona

Hi Fiona, sorry to hear you are worried about your son's benefit money.

Can I double check that the £727 money isn't a PIP payment of £737.20, which is high rate care and mobility?

And you may have to check if he is receiving ESA or UCA.

If he is, he should be receiving more. Have you checked his bank statements/does someone else have control of his money? Does he have a social worker or a housing officer who could help you?

Please get back to us if you need further help
