Benefit/Tax credit help needed!

lushlifesaver

I am having serious issues working out what if any benefits/tax credits my partner and I will be entitled to when I move in.

He works 20 hours per week, receives DLA - higher rate car and mobility and currently receives housing benefit, council tax benefit and council tax reductions (disabled and single occupant) and currently receives working tax credits

I receive carers allowance @ £58.45 per week and at the start of December will be starting work at £8/hr, roughly 10hrs per week on a fixed term contract that runs until March.

The some online calculators says we are entitled but some say otherwise. I really need to know/need help from someone who knows how it works! I will be looking for permanent works with more hours after the end of this contract.

You may be entitled to some benefits.
As I understand it, not working tax credit, as that has a floor of 16 hours, even when looking after a disabled person. Oops - just noticed mention of the other halfs hours. I don't know how this works.

DLA would not change, nor would CA - on earnings of 80/week.
CTB/HB may go down somewhat.

This is without going into things in detail.
