Disability living allowance, can you claim this whilst you are working under any circumstances?


Answers:
Where i live a person on disability can work but is limited in earnings. I believe the most one can earn is: $500.00. and it depends what your disability. Once your on disability and you suddenly find a job you can work so long as you declare your income. When you no longer can work you go right back on disability which i am sure is different everywhere.
Yes! You are limited to the type of job, the wage, and the # of hours you work. However, YES you can work while on disability.
You cannot work full time and must remain below a set level of income in order to get disability living allowance. Say you are able to work while seated for 2 hours a day answering phones while the regular staff is at lunch, but are unable to do it for more than that due to a physical problem. You would be disabled, yet could still earn a little money.
yes, it isnt means tested
best bet is to go and ask CAB or contact your local welfare benefits dept at your council, they will help and advise.
it is very hard to get this benefit, there is people who are unable to walk that dont get it, several years ago I was unemployed and getting an extra 拢5pw for a mental health problem i had, but when i got the medical they told me i was able to go to work and stopped the money.
