Wantsajob, do you get DLA, as thats not means tested. Most other benefits are though. You are classed as being the same as married if you live together.

No I never applied for it, I thought I would find it challenging and stressful to prove that I need DLA as I have Asperger Syndrome - and I was also certain my claim would be rejected. This link seems to offer concise help for my situation, I guess I may as well apply for it now as I can't get it if I don't try.

Then it would be in my interests to move back to my mothers until I can find a job, or to steal. I like the first option most.

If you are capable of working then you are claiming IS for incapacity fraudulently.

He cant be fit for work and on IB, he says he is looking for a job, so it seems he feels he is fit for work, and as AS is a lifelong condition he presumably had it when he took out a career development loan? when did things change? I think it is DLA he should be on.

I am confused.

how do we know if he doesnt have children,

im not going to reply on here again because i can see where its going
that would be the same way as my thread went when i asked for help

The law says that a couple needs just over £100 a week to live on, so yes, your partner earns too much, even on the minimum wage. I think it is a bit more for people with disabilities, but it isn't a vast amount.

Yes. If you claim DLA, you do get disability premiums on top of income based benefits.
