B/R Scotland 6th month review forms!

carmim

Just a wee quiry, its been 6 months since i got my sequestration i need to fill in the assesment form. Getting a wee bit concerned about filling in the part that asks about other adults who have an income living in the home! I live with my o.a.p parents and my 2 adult sons ( 1 who is unemployed but not claiming) the other does part time work. Im unemployed at the moment too.
Does this mean that they might be asked to help bail me out of my sequestration?
I get nervous filling in forms. I would be grateful for any advice....

They will not expect any of them to "bail you out" however the OR will expect them to make a contribution to the bills.

For example if the rent is £500 you won't be allowed to claim £500 if there are 4 other adults in the house - they will be expected to pay their share (which will be according to income not a straight division afaik). This is the same for all other bills - food, electric, gas, phone etc.

In other words you might have great difficulty avoiding an IPA as the OR will be expecting contributions to household income from them.

This of course may lead to questions about the arrangements when you filled the forms in the first time round!
