WTC question

mardatha

She has sent away the form for DLA last week
Edited - he will ask for a review from the CSA because that payment was set when he was working overtime, which has all stopped now.

Hi Mardartha- sorry to hear of your sad situation. Depending on your son`s girlfriend`s situation she should be able to get some help from the relevant charities / Marie Curie etc. Also benefits are more helpful when the person is suffering a terminal illness. Try www.entitled to.com Closed site so son`s details are private. HTH

theyd get CTC and WTC

You are of course assuming the girlfriend is the mother to his child, if she isn't none of the above apply!

definately. it will probably halve.

Does his GF have any children?

My partner (20) whom does not get DLA can get WTC . Unsure why, but entitled says partner can. Unsure as this is due to me on DLA? £80 odd quid a week WTC

mardatha

Hi RAS, she has two kids, one is over 21 and working, one is 18 and at college. Both live with their dad & have done for years, but the whole family get on well and visit often, inc her ex. It was an amicable split.

Hi Mardatha- forgot to say that g/f can look into getting help with heat allowances and dietary help( if relevant) I always get annoyed when whap people can claim for isnt explained fully.

mardatha

Ok many thanks. I will tell my son all this, to pass on. It's an awkward thing to broach since I'm more or less the mother-in-law eh. She hasnt spoken much about this to me. TY pet x

This is wrong! as the person who gets DLA must work.

Bryando

I put it through as if I dont get ANY benefit and declared DLA. Mentioned my partners hours and rate as that all partner gets. Says £89.54 WTC would be payable. As a result this means we get some help with HB and CT.

So in a situation of what help will we get with HB/CT as if no help we shall be screwed big time!
