Benefits aren't classed as income as the reason for the benefit can't be guaranteed to continue, and indeed can vanish without warning overnight.Not that much different to wages, then.Slightly different, benefits don't have to be worked for, wages do.
I don't see how that distinction matters when you're being assessed for the ability to pay. In fact, I think it's far more likely for someone to be made redundant or be sacked within a short time frame than for benefits to be changed. It always takes ages for benefit changes to filter through.0 -
