I now have 4 grown up children living at home and no longer recieve any tax benefits, meaning that I am now having to try and support 6 adults on 1 persons wage. As far as can tell my options are starve or throw them onto the street (literally, as they have nowhere to go) - in an ideal world they would all drop into fulltime jobs and start to pay for themselves but I cant see that happening. one has a part time job and ccj's from being stupid with an overdraught whem he was 18, so has no spare cash. Can I officially make them lodgers in my home and charge them rent which they can claim housing benefit for or some such? or am I jst going to have to stop eating or make them homeless?

Stop eating or make them homeless? :think: Bye [STRIKE]kids[/STRIKE] adults! :wave:

To be blunt, you are looking for a way to abuse the benefit system to your own advantage (you want taxpayers to pay you lodgings for your own offspring?). Your offspring are now grown-ups, not "children". If they are quite happy to see you struggle and starve rather than get out in the big wide world ... you've brought that upon your self.

At the very least get them digging in your garden and growing some food as a contribution to the table. Get them out doing voluntary work to enhance their CV's to increase their potential on the job front. If they get JSA, (you claim it will barely cover a bus pass and food?) tell them to give you a % of it towards the food kitty - you can feed a crowd cheaper than a solitary person (percentage wise).
