Benefits & Tax Credits

A question about : Claiming benefits after operation

Hi

I am having an operation in the summer after which will need at least six weeks off work. I am adivised not to do anything for that six weeks even filling a kettle. I will get paid from work, however I am on a low basic wage and most of my wage is commission. Would I be entitled to dla for that time? Also my daughter is at uni and plans to work in the summer holidays. Could she claim carers allowance for me and not work? Not sure if benefits are claimable for the short term. Thanks

A question about : benefits if ill

My inlaws have recently sold their house and are waiting to buy another one and are living in their parents house. My father in law has just discovered he has problems with hisliver and at the moment is having time off work. He doesn't want to give up work and hopefully they won't lay him off but he has worked there less than 2 years so you never know. My question is whether he will be able to claim benefit if he is - the money to buy their house is in my mother in law's name as she doesn't work.
