Elizabeth from Carers UK is here all week to help answer question about any aspect of caring.

Today (Tuesday) we’ll be focusing on what are often referred to as disability benefits, including Personal Independence Payment (PIP), Disability Living Allowance (DLA) and Employment Support Allowance (ESA).

Please post any question you have on the link above.

Best wishes.

Thank you Sarah for highlighting Elizabeth's willingness to answer questions. My question follows.

Hello Elizabeth. My son is 40 and receives PIP & ESA along with a Personal Budget ( Direct Payments). He has a job with Tesco, 4 hours per week, as well. No tax is deducted. My concern is does he have to pay tax on this pool of money as I'm not sure if the first two are liable for tax.

Thank you
