Partner Moving In

He will lose his jsa so you will have to keep him. Now if you asked the question where i live you would be told to move him in and keep quiet.

He doesn't want to work or look after your kids? I am not one to judge without knowing the full facts but this may set up an awful lot of resentment.

You will not be entitled to the childcare element. You will still recieve working tax credits and child tax credits so go to one of the calculators you have been pointed towards. He will lose him income based job seekers allowance but your DLA will remain unaffected.

Gone are the days, when two people wanted to be together for love!!!!
now it all depends on how much benefits they get.

Do you mean in your accomodation ? Or post code ?
How much do you think is being fiddled "where you live" , just a ballpark figure in £ thousands per week.

There are many people assuming that the man is claiming jsa. Perhaps, like myself, he is on thin air only! In that case I do not understand why a lone single mother should lose benefits. Are these benefits based on occupancy or income. If its income he has none so in other words he is not taking anything from the rest of us.

I would add as well that everybody pays tax. Even the tramp in the gutter pays tax on his special brew.

You do not live on thin air - you have a partner who earns, or has he disappeared since yesterday?

The government provides support to households based on their dependants and capacity for work. If you are an adult member of a household you are expected to contribute towards it, though helping pay the bills and helping with childcare.

Unless the whole household lives on "thin air" then it is unfair for the taxpayer to pay for a household which includes adults who are not attempting to work.

Why are so many people against him not wanting to work?
The OP should check on Turn2us and input both 2 sets of info. As she is now and as she will be with partner not working.
There is no obligation for anyone to work as long as they don't claim JSA saying they are looking for a job.

However with the state of the current unemployment figures, he might as well claim JSA as there is very little chance of him actually finding a job even if he is looking for one!

Many people choose to give up work for many reasons and claim benefits. That is what the problem is. You can actually be worse off working after taking into account work expenses as against living on benefits.

For the lucky ones who might be £20 a week better off after working 30 hours - is it seriously worth going to work for?

I gave up a job earning over £20,000pa to claim disability benefits etc. I am on a lower income, but overall with reduced expenses I am no worse off!
