And no one can answer her question as none of us are the DM who would consider her case.

Yes, clever you got the HMRC ruling on it. Shame that it's the DWP that deal with IS and they don't have a ruling.

Precisely, so people telling her that "a mistake has been made she isn't "single" [for benefits purposes]" are giving her incorrect information.

So next time you give a person "false doom and gloom" (:rotfl:), please first consult your crystal balls.

I gave my personal opinion and I made that clear unlike yourself stating that something the DWP would do would be 'quite likely'.

As I say though, it's probably all moot points as I feel the OP has already made her decision about her status.

Agreed...but that was one person and same said person advocated her assuing she was single and steaming right in whereas the majority on the thread advised to seek guidance from DWP.

If the girl is stressed out to the max then the last thing she needs is more added to it later on down the line.

Are you a lone parent as only lone parents can get IS.

If you are then you could leave your job and claim IS and you don't have to give a reason.

Lone parents with kids under the age of 7 can claim IS whatever the circumstances.

Not just for Lone Parents either. Btw.

You're quite a scary person eh?!:eek:

I am quite aware of the eligibility for IS however, my response was pertaining to the actual query from the OP.

It is quite likely, in my opinion. How come when those that tell her "she won't get it" it becomes merely an opinion. But when I say actually, given that one government deparment has ALREADY considered her single, given her partners salary, and given that he isn't allowed in the UK anway, it's "quite likely" that she would be considered for IS, I'm not also expressing my opinion?

I haven't even stated a fact (unlike the "no you won't get it" stance). I've made it clear throught it MAY or MAY NOT be possible. (although that is a fact in itself )

I'm sorry if pesky things like facts scare you.

None the less, you did actually state "IS is only for LONE parents", then spent the next hour arguing whether she could be classed as a Lone Parent for IS reasons. Whilst simultanously ignoring that I have repeatadly pointed out her partners £5 per week salary may also be a factor as to any decision made.

Sorry, I didn't realise I had to address every point you make *yawn*

I don't know if it will...I'm not a DM (pretty sure I've said that before). Only a DM from the DWP can make the decision bu I wouldn't assume that just because HMRC class her as lone that the DWP will.

Course you don't have to address every point, nor do you. I'm more than aware you suffer from selective reading.

So basically, you haven't a clue in anyway, shape or form as to whether the DWP would consider her for IS, which is what I've pointed out from post 1. But you want to witter on all evening anyway. Great, I'm sure the OP is grateful for your time.

Buh bye :hello:

Yes they did. I've even highlighted in the quote (a couple up) where it was made.

Under DWP rules it could also be the same as HMRC. Which is what I've been pointing out all along. ******No one is actually addressing whether she can claim it or not in this respect. But instead we are getting opinions on whether they are a couple.******* We know they are a couple, but we do not know whether the DWP consider them a couple for IS purposes, although we DO know that WTC in the same circumstances DOES NOT consider them a couple.

I've starred the part I like in this quote. Thank you. And, you are right, I am claiming WTC. However, only get a percentage toward childcare. I have been to the doctor and he has signed me off for two weeks. Thank most of you for your "opinions" but most of all thanks to those who have helped!
