Private Renting - housing benifit advice

Svenena

If you really need to move out of your parents house, it would be much more feasible for you to find a double room in a shared house. The rent for this would only be slightly more than for a single room in a shared house, and all bills are usually included. This would make it much more affordable for you to support your partner if she did lose her benefits due to you living together (and being considered to support her).

You would only have to pay for her food. In my area (which is relatively expensive) it would cost around £400 for an all inclusive double room in a shared house, and you would easily be able to afford both your food for £200. And I think both these figures could be lowered if you were careful. Could you afford £600 a month? If not, you will have to stay put, or move out separately. She would qualify for local housing allowance if she lived alone, and you could afford it on your own income.

But she IS legally trained and qualified .... and if she'd typed that up on a letter you'd probably owe £250 for that advice in the real world.

You are trying, by many means, to defraud the benefits system in all your combinations and permutations.

It's not MY fault you moved your bird into your parents'.
It's not MY fault you think you deserve money.
It's not MY fault you want a free sh4g without picking up the tab.

As a taxpayer it shouldn't be ME paying for you and your lifestyle.

all I wanted to know was if it made a difference! I have worked all my life and never had a penny out the system, you don't know the full story so I suggest you button it!

It's not my fault I am in the postion I am in
it's not my fault my girlfriend is out of work
it's not my fault you have too much time to surf the Internet

Maybe I worded it wrong but I ain't no benifit cheat so go bug someone else, I am her for advice just like most others!
