Hi Sarah. Your son's DLA will be taken into account as part of your income. However, this is provided for his benefit and you will need to offset this on the expenditure side of the equation to, effectively, cancel it out.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.

Hi Sarah and welcome to the IVA forum,

Where someone is in receipt of DLA we would include it as income and off set in expenditure as additional costs relating to the disabilty.

Have you included these additional costs in your expenses?
