In Laws Moving in with us!

Depending on how old they are, you might be able to get a free TV licence and possibly the winter fuel payment.

Do they want to move in with you or would they have preferred to rent somewhere?

Sre they both in good health and able to live independently?

CAB has benefits advisors that can help them identify what they can claim - if they have no savings and no assets then they are likely to be able to claim help with rent as well. So they could rent somewhere instead - could you help them raise a deposit? If not, some local authorities can help with a bond.

I know a friend whose dad found a private rented flat for himself through this company when he left a long term relationship - some are assured tenancies:

Hmm. The OP came back in the evening of the 7th, didn't reply and hasn't been back since.

I hate it when people ask questions and then just walk away.

My Mother In Law recently (Feb this year) moved in with us and we have had few problems. Ok it takes a little bit of re-adjusting routines etc, but nothing that cant be sorted. We just looked at it as MIL was elderly so we try our best to fit in around her really.

We have come to a happy balance as the only issue was the kitchen!! We both enjoy cooking I tend to batch cook and enjoy that day in the kitchen but so did she :rotfl: We now have a happy medium in that she does the baking, I do the meals. The only problem is there is only so much cake you can eat - but at least my workmates are happy

Do you think that's a British thing that we all find living together difficult, in some other cultures it seems to be the norm.

I think living together is difficult and other cultures tend to put up more with the difficulties involved.

I've only one thing to say in response to this, and it is: Don't do it!

I speak from bitter experience.

Penny-Pincher!!

Not a chance in hell would my MIL EVER live here with us!

There must be another option?

If they are going to live with you and are both claiming state pension, the only outgoings they will have is their board and lodge with you.

As full state pension x 2 is in excess of £800 a month what makes you think they would be in need or entitled to extra financial help.

And I'm another of the 'Dont Do It' brigade.

Without going into all the details, my husbands parents need to move in with us. Due to complicated personal circumstances, they have no savings or other assests and can only claim basic pension. Does anyone know where we stand in terms of financial help that they can receive or where to start with it? We've just applied online to put their names on the electoral roll at our property but not sure what we can do next? Thanks

How is that? If they have no assets or savings they will be able to claim Pension Credit and help with rent.
