    • or child
    • or step-child
    • or son-in-law or daughter-in-law
    • or brother or sister

    INCLUDING if you pay them RENT TO LIVE THERE!!!!

    or


    There are some people who will be treated as though they are not responsible for paying rent even though they are paying it, for example, if you are renting from a close relative who also lives in the home.


    When you will be treated as not paying rent

    In some situations, the local authority may treat you as if you are not responsible for paying the rent, even though you have to pay it and you will not get Housing Benefit

    We know everything, it is the non readers of the daily mail who are deluded. The DM is the only paper which dares tell the real truth

  • Remember

    I think everyone gets HB, therefore
    I think you get it, therefore
    I have no clue why you don't get it (as everyone, including you, gets HB).

    Im going to struggle to pay for that 1/4 day at nursery a week now, where will i find the money.
    I know, i will quit my job and let the hard working tax payer pay for all of his nursery fees.

    Oh dear god

    What you think is NOT fact and I just posted the links for your little brain to read.

    Struggle to pay for nursey? IF you are getting your CB taken away you earn enough to pay for a full time nursey.

    And if you read the DM you would know if you quit your job you will get nothing and if you do not rent from a private landlord you too will not get housing benefit
