Hi All
My Mum is currently living on her own and in receipt of non-contributory old age pension and a medical card. I'm considering moving in with her (she currently lives alone) and I'm wondering how my income will impact these two items.
I've read through the guidelines for both, and both indicate that the income of a spouse/partner would be taken into account - but there's no mention of the income of a son/daughter, or any other blood relative. Does anybody have any experience of this scenario, and would you know whether my income would be taken into account ? If so, what percentage of my income would be used in the assessment ?
I know that other "perks" that come with her OAP such as LAA, Free TV License etc, will obviously be gone. But my Mum is quite independent and she worries about how my moving in might impact her
Thanks in advance
