Advice on my HB/CT

broughton_man

you say this
If you dont want it dont take it, give it to charity, I cant understand why you wouldnt want the money, if entitled.
I cannot take any extra money for a partner who is subject to immigration control, if they pay the couples rate then i am taking extra benefit, talking to several people on-line today they all same the same they only get the single rate on the premiums because of tere partner not being allowed any extra funds this is the reason why i am saying it cannot be taken.

ONE of the postings was this
Hi based on my own experience you will lose the SDP but will receive the single rate on the other premiums once you inform them that your partner has no recourse to public fund and you wish to remain on single rate they did this when my partner came a few months ago.

we will leave it there then....
I have processed I.S for fifteen years, perhaps they have different rules for every office then
who knows
:rotfl:
But if I get an A2 tomorrow at work , with a partner without a NINO etc
and the customer is entitled to DP
guess what,
I will award the couples DP
see what happens when you put your A2 in then ..

Have a look at the link above - it explains how this works.

Due to you being on any rate of care you dont get charged non dependant rates for HB/CTB so in other circumstances if someone came to live in your home you would then receive full 100% Council Tax Benefit in your own right regardless of that persons income and they wouldnt be expected to pay towards this.

I hope this rule applys in your circumstances for your piece of mind.

I would like to think that no recourse to public funds means in his own right and has no bearing on your circumstances but unfortunately i am not fully aware of the minefield of immigration and benefits.

Good Luck though

Hi thanks i got this sorted today at long last, thanks for your advice best wishes

Hi
I dont want to argue, but i did call the D.W.P today and they called me back on a 3 hours call back and they told me that is will only be paid at a single rate for both premiums were one person is subject to immigration control. like always i made a note of the date and time and the name of the team leader who called me, so i will quote them if need's be, thanks for your advice any way.

For what it's worth- I agree couple rate DP is applicable.
