is this right

you shouldn't charge your child the loss of his child benefit or any child related benefit, that's unfair.

you adjust I'm afraid.

you should charge him a reasonable amount for rent, and food and costs towards electric and gas, gives them the taste of the real world.

well done to your son for getting a good paid job :T

Here's a novel idea: Adult child earning a decent wage still living at home pay the going rate for: Rent of a room. The actual cost of: Laundry, food, access to the internet/landline, council tax, gas, electricity, housekeeping supplies and the taxi of mum and dad.

Found out today that we do receive DLA
By some of the replies i can see there is a bitter feeling out there, i am sorry if my post was not very well writting and i'm glad this is just a forum and not a court as i would of been hang draw and quarter.
Just to let some of you know that i gave a job up that paid more than £50k a year but i love my wife dearly and she didn't want a stranger looking after her. i used the saving we had for 3 years before claiming and it felt so degrading.
thankyou for those who gave me some good points and advice.

As your wife is getting DLA, the rules around various deductions are different, so give the BEL a ring, and they will go through it all with you, and ensure you are claiming all that you should be:

If your adult son remains living at home he will have to pay his way.

Good on him if he can get digs, food, laundry etc. for less than it would cost him to continue to live at home.

As a LL, I can tell you now that it ain't going to happen

Particularly in a home which is dependant on benefits!
