in Bankruptcy & living with it
I live with my partner who is currently unemployed. Will the OR require proof that she has no income as obviously she doesn't claim benefits as I work full time?

    firstly welcome to the forum

    if its you only going bankrupt then no they have no need for income proof..they may ask however if she contributes to any of the household living expenses

    is she not entitled to any benefit at all?

    She applied for JSA but because I earn too much they wont let her have it. I don't think she is entitled to anything else and the only options left wouldn't make a dent in what we owe.

    well in that case when you fill the forms in just explain what you have explained to me in the " any other information " bit and everything will be fine hopefully..

    Much obliged for the heads up. If I think of anything else is it ok to use this thread or shall I keep making new ones?

    Anything your not too sure about (however daft it sounds!) just pop up a new post (just incase this one gets lost...things do sometimes get missed)
