cut in benefits

hi
Just an enquire, my ex partner gets income support, DLA @ mrc & lrc because he is blind and also he has modirate learning disabilities. In april he got a letter a while ago saying they where going to cut his income support from £147.10 per week by nearly £53. In the letter he got a while ago say that he should be able live on the lower amount.

This site concerns itself with non means tested benefits, but my suggestion is have him visit the CAB or even go with him and ask them to establish what has happened and how this figute has been arrived at

I suspect because means tested benefits are an even bigger bag of worms than none means tested benefits

its hard enough working out who can have none means tested, the moment they look at another million reasons not to give you the money you could never give even basic advise to people , as you never know what income they have how much in the bank what pensions or who else is also supporting them in a partnership and another 1,000 reasons I have missed out
