    Butlins are starting to recruit for seasonal staff, why not suggest something like that? It is a good half way house between leaving home and getting your own place?

    I know my brother wants him out, its his mum who is causing the trouble.

    When my brother kicked him out, she was ringing him up constantly and trying to get him back home!!

    My brother moans about him all the time; how much food he eats, the fact that he's on the computer half the night, he sleep half the day, his mum is the one who pampers to him and its her who's at fault because she wont let him stand on his own two feet!!

    He doesnt want his own place cause he got it too easy at home!!

    You dont seem to like her or her son very much.

    My nephew is 24 and is claiming jobseeker's allowance (not sure if its income or contributions based).

    He currently lives at home with his parents and is not happy.

    He wants his own place; what help is he entitled to?

    Thanks.

    That's not a very accurate summary of the situation, is it?

    From what you have said it seems that the true situation is:

    • He doesn't want his own place.
    • You don't approve of him.
    • His father is refusing to throw him out, despite your best efforts to persuade him to do so, and you are criticising him for this.
    • His mother does not want him to leave, and you are criticising her for this.
    What I don't get is why you are so keen to have your own way and get this young man thrown out of the family home?
    I'm a retired employment solicitor. Hopefully some of my comments might be useful, but they are only my opinion and not intended as legal advice.

    She's been on benefits for nigh on 20 years without a medical, and she has the cheek to slate someone else for not doing anything with their lives?? Maybe she is jealous because she's realised she isn't the only one lying about doing nothing and wants him punished?

    I wish I knew the answer to this. I want a house as close to the beach as possible because I'm not happy lugging my beach gear from London every weekend during the summer. I want my beach house, what help am I entitled to?

    Eastbourne Borough Council let out their beach huts. Perhaps you could rent one? Not sure if you get Local Housing Allowance for them though. :D:rotfl:
