Thing is it's not even worth me waiting till I'm 25 and moving into my own place as Cameron is stopping housing benefit for over 25's from next year and will only pay for 1 room bed sit, The Council Tax want £19 a month which I don't mind but Income Support want £35 for the mortgage.
£54 per month is very cheap for rent and council tax - how much do you pay for your keep?0 -
On this years rates you are expected to pay £7.40 towards housing costs and £2.30 towards Council Tax, you are expected to pay this to your mum as her benefit will be reduced.
Be aware though i believe these non dependant deductions are being greatly increased from April.

Those rates are weekly, not monthly. They are not negotiable, they depend on what you earn. Have you given them proof of earnings?Gone ... or have I?0 -
