How absurd to expect someones partner to support them when they need it !! What is this country coming to !!

I'd love for you to fill us in Angel89 .....considering your the benefits expert round here and seem to have an answer to everything.

Break up with the guy.

Turn lesbian even to really show that you just have no interest in being in a relationship with him or any other males.


Then move into that flat as a sub-tenant of his, make sure he gives you a clearly scripted tenancy agreement for you as the tenant in that property, indicating what bills and rent you solely are liable for.


Then go and make your claim as a single person, since you will then be single.

So you are living with this person as a couple and you don't know what he earns and you don't share anything, you are like a lodger, sounds like he is using you for sex and contribution to his bills, what a funny arrangement, don't mean to offend it just sounds so strange.

Doesnt registering as a landlord impose a legal responsibility?

I wouldn't consider myself in a relationship with that arrangement.
I can see why you want to claim benefit as your "partner" is treating you like a glorified tenant.
Not meaning to be rude.

I'm confused by the OP though, she says she doesn't know what he earns but she must have filled in his details on the form?

From what I can work out, I'm not entitled to any working tax credit because I have a partner...but I don't even know how much he earns and don't get any financial support from him! Is this right? We don't have any joint assets or anything (I don't have any assets, lol), he owns the house and I pay him a flat rate for rent and my share of bills - this is the same as I would pay if I rented a room in a shared house or shared a flat with a friend.

Are you serious?

Or am I old fashioned?

Because that doesn't seem much of a relationship...?

Are you saying he'd evict you if you couldn't afford to pay your 'rent' and share of the bills?

Its harsh and absurb, just like how the entire benefits system is structured though.. :mad::mad::(:(


The only people who actually get any decent amount of money that they can afford to live averagely off are people aged over 25s who still arent able to get a job (and who if they have partner they will also have to be unemployed).

And

People who have children, when they know that they cant afford it, (but go ahead n do it anyways cos they know other people will pay their rent and bills for them if they do).



These people get rewarded with ridiculously high monthly income amounts, (£23,000 per year salary straight into the bank for everyone whos under 25 but has a kid),
which give them absolutely no reason to want to start working.

But anyone whos under 25 and didnt have children that they cant afford / over 25 but isnt single,
get riduculously low amounts that cant be lived off. :mad::mad:

i'd like this amount 2 if your offering:rotfl: when my twins were born 5 and half years ago me and my partner only £74.95 per weekly basis tax credits. hardly £23,000 a year dont you think things are not allways what they seems and friends will tell you they had this amount and that amount if someone has said they get 23,000 ask them to prove it by showing you their award notice. if someone has said to you youll get more money by saying that your partner dont support you then they know nothing about benefits and ctc's if your partner lives under the same roof then governent will see that as he's supporting you financially, sounds to me someone give u duff info on how to get more money and it back fired.
