You will need to make a revised claim regarding a non-dependant adult and his low income/JSA for CT and HB/LHA.

MSEDan's reminder from the front page of this forum

Hi folks,

We wanted to draw your attention back to this notice by Martin, and this post that he made over the weekend:

http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/...3&postcount=16

The benefits board has been consuming a disproportionate amount of the forum team's time over the past few months, and it is vital everyone who psots here reads these notices.

The key point is this: "Want to discuss the benefits system? Go to the discussion board". This board is for helping people get what they are entitled to.

So, these general rules will continue to apply, and the forum team will be taking action against any breaches of these over the next few weeks...

IN THE BENEFITS BOARD

This board is for people to work out what they are entitled to, and we hope other forummers will continue to provide invaluable help in this.

However, anyone disrupting threads in this board with their views on the benefits system, making impolite comments about benefits claimaints, or taking part in arguments (whether or not you started them) will have action taken against them

If you spot a thread promoting benefit fraud, please report it to abuse.

IN DISCUSSION TIME

As long as opinions on the benefits system are expressed politely, and refrain from personal comments, then debate is totally allowed within Discussion Time.

Please do not take part in bad-tempered arguments in Discussion Time, and accept that everyone is entitled to their views. If you do not feel you can participate in debates in that board without becoming offended or argumentative, please refrain from posting in those discussions.

Obviously, posts which break the forum rules should still be reported to abuse and you should NOT engage in discussion about the rule-breaking. The forum team are obliged to read through the whole of any discussion so that they can make a fair decision, and hundreds of argumentative posts massively increases the reaction time.

Thanks for your cooperation.

my husband has just spent 2 yrs in hospital having numerous ops, when he came out of hospital we did have our son move in with us and all he did was get loans from money lenders at our address, so we are bombarded with bailiff letters.

So you are both disabled and your husband is sick, you pay no rent or council tax, everything coming in comes by way of benefits?

Then you have your 23 year old son who wants to come home who is also claiming benefits.

And all that you are concerned about is if he does come home from the hostel he is living in, will your benefits go down!

I just don't know what to say. Words fail me.
I'm not sure if this is a serious question (tongue in cheek), or a wind up as part of a plot from "Shameless".

The OP DID NOT do as you stated, they asked how it would affect the benefits coming in - I would think that a perfectly acceptable thing to try to find out as it may affect how they have to budget. Furthermore, it is exactly the right sort of question to ask on this board and I hope they get some very useful advice.

Depends on what rate of DLA the OP and her husband get, depending on the rates the sons benefits may not affect their HB/CT.

absolutely corect,and if they currently get the couples rate of SDP then they cant claim this BUT can claim carers allowance for each other(assuming middle or higher rate care dla)
