My wife receives DWP from the government because he is classed disabled, the allowance is for caring. Is this allowance classed as income when calculating my IPA payments.

Hello there and a warm welcome to the forum

In answer to your question - most 'benefits' received are not included in any calculation made to see if an IPO/IPA is warranted. As a 'norm' it is only 'income' that is included, this refers to money 'earned' - Benefits are not classed in the same way. However, if your wife was to also recieve an 'income' ie salary/wages that would be included in any calcultation

Hope this helps

Melanie
