Single IS claim changing to couple claim - implications?
Wed 05-Nov-08 11:09 AM

Hi,

Just wanted to check a clients situation - any advice appreciated. I have 2 clients who both got IS as single claimants, one for being a lone parent and one for being unfit for work before 27/10. They are now claiming IS as a couple as of yesterday but have been told by DWP that they may lose their disability premiums which i think is incorrect - am i right?

thanks Saima
