Adult Dependancy Grant

My partner is financially dependant on me however she claims Universal Credit, Pip and Work capability which all goes into my bank would I still be able to apply for the adult dependancy grant?

Also, does the adult dependancy grant affect universal credit, if so, how much money would be deducted and why?
Hi there,

You would need to speak to universal credit to see if the Adult Dependents Grant would affect your universal credit. How much income does your partner get a year?

Thanks, Drew

With these three benefits its over £3700 however I am not sure whether they are non-taxable
Hi there,

I would advise you complete the Grants for Dependents form and this can be uploaded from your online account. You will need to provide the full income from all benefits but we will not consider this when assessing your entitlement.

Thanks, Drew

Hey, I am looking at the form now, do I put the amount into the taxable state benefit? I am not sure whether they are taxable or not
Hi there,

It states on the form that you need to provide the taxable state benefits on it.

Thanks, Drew
