Hi all,

Is your wife receiving Carers Allowance for your son, or do either of you receive IB or ESA.

All of these benefits have WFIs and in the vast majority of cases are madatory.

There is a guide to WFIs in the Work section of the Members area.

Hi Gordon,
Yes my wife receives carers allowance for our son.

I will have a read in the work section.

Thanks

Ublike IB and ESA the WFIs for CA tend to be about 2-3 years apart :)

Claimants who receive Carer's Allowance do not have to attend work-focused interviews.

If necessary, I can quote from the relevant legislation?
