Hi need help and advice ASAP please, as I think the dwp have just shot themselves in the foot with comment they have put on the back of a letter to me.
I have been a full-time carer for my mother for 8 years now as she is bed banned and cannot do anything, approximately 4 years ago I was diagnosed with heart disease and a few other ailments but could still care for my mother and also claimed PIP , My health has gone slightly downhill this year so I applied to for an increase in the daily living path of my pip as I am struggling a bit more but still able to do some things, dwp initially turned me down so I appealed against it. They turn me down again so I’m now about to go to a tribunal, But on the back of the letter they have just sent to me with all the relevant information they have also put “Although Mr xxxxx has identified a high level of personal restriction. He is entitled to carrier’s allowance, to be entitled to Kara’s allowance, a person must provide at least a 35 hours of care to another disabled person. Each week the tribunal may wish to explore his hours further”“”
First of all I didn’t think that it had anything to do with them if I was getting carers allowance but also because I’m going to a tribunal. What are they trying to say because I didn’t think they could do anything like this or let alone say anything like this??
