IS applicable amounts
Tue 21-Apr-09 09:42 AM

I'm tying myself in knots over what appears to be a really basic question, but i want to be sure!

So if a learned welf could be put me right on the following scenario, i'd be really grateful and my head would stop spinning too.

Client had break in IB/IS claim over 8 weeks (incommunicado), partner during interim claimed IS as a lone parent.

Client (out of incommunicado) claimed IR ESA for partner and kids (ESA in assessment phase). Partner claimed CA (client in receipt of DLA MRC/LRM).

Question - If partner had instead claimed IS as carer for client, would the couples DP have been included in the applicable amount?
