Hi there,

Can you please tell us the exact disability allowance this is, is it the Disability Living Allowance (DLA)?

Thanks, Graeme

Hi, thanks for your reply. Yes it is the DLA.

Thanks - DLA isn't a taxable benefit, so your Mum doesn't need to include this in the household income.

The same goes with child maintenance: we won't take that into account either.
