was just reading all the bunf about the CA on the dwp website it says that you cant claim twice for the same thing, or they will only pay once from only 1 benifit and not the other for 1 thing. (hope i havnt lost ya) well in my carers allowance i get and extra £20 for the kids. well on income support i only recieve money for me and my partner not the kids,. yet the IS take away the said £20 along with the rest of my CA. so does this mean that they are taking somthing away that i dont claim for through IS and would it be worth fighting my case with dwp?

think im lost now! just for kicks im tempted to fight them as i feel robed as it is but my kids have nothing to do with my IS as we get tax credits! feel a bit
