income support and severe disablement allowanceH

im no expert but i only thought you were exempt from the PCA if you was on higher rate DLA.

but those on middle rate DLA who get SDA aren't exempt from the PCA.

Yes, if you're on higher rate care, then you're PCA exempt.

Not any more under the new rules. There are some exeptions including terminally ill and on chemo but high rate care is no longer an exemption.

it does say on dwp webiste that incapcity and income support will be done first and then severe disablement at the end. who knows with them they change all the time don't they, my friend got targetted for a focused work interview last year and she is on income support

wonnder if you can put the link to the DWP website where it states people who get SDA will be the last to be reasessed.

thanks

Has that come into effect yet tho as I spoke to the Jobcentre last Friday and they told me I was still exempt due to being on DLA higher rate care?

I didn't even know I was exempt to be honest so thought it was a bonus - not so much if it's now not true.....
