hi all, i just wanted to know do i let my IP know about my dissability allowance being accepted because this is for my childs dissabilty. does it count as extra income?

hi there, I would let your IP know as it's always good to keep them in the loop but if it's for your child then I would doubt they'll want any but hang around and another poster who does know will be along very soon.

It shouldn't be a problem if it is for your child, but as Lesley says, let your IP know.

i'm scared they'll try to take it and force me to hand some over. its not that i don't want to give it but i wanted to save it for my childs therapy sessions. i feel guilty.

Don't feel guilty. If it is for your child then there should be no problem with it but you do need to speak to your IP sooner rather than later.

You save for your childs therapy, explain it to your IP. Your child must come first

That's exactly right Lesley. Family must always come first.
