Can my partner get housing benefit?
Comments

You admitted yourself that you had not included child benefit and tax credits in your calculations. You also said that your partner had £95 a week left, plus the CB and CTC - making a total of an additional £186 a month. As I said, your income is actually pretty good, other people manage on a lot less than you - and we all have similar outgoings. I have already advised that your income is, in all likelihood too high for further benefits.
Like I said, £95 pays for 5 days travel to London. Where are we supposed to find the other £4k odd?
£19 a day x 5 x 20 working days in a month = £380.0 -
Oh, I understand , youre going to suck up thousands of pounds, in effect a free education, then pi$$ off with no intention of paying back your debt.
Save yourselves some time and the taxpayer some money - go now.
And dont slam the door on your way out.
I'm sorry, what I should have said is "Have a decent life and then move to another county when I retire so I don't have to work when I'm 65+ because of the whole pensions deal.0 -
You're overreacting, you've had generally helpful replies so far.0

The only way to see if you are eligible for Housing Benefit is to apply for it.(AKA HRH_MUngo)

Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton0
