Need help to find out what I am owed

ryanmurphy

Hi all,

I need someones help determining what benefits/ tax credits/ etc that myself or my partner can get as we are expecting a baby.

I work full time 38 hours a week and earn £32,500.00 per annum (gross salary). I am 25 years old.

My partner does not work due to disability. She gets Disability Living Allowance (DLA) which is made up of highest care component and medium mobility component. She also gets Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) and is not required to attend the support groups due to the nature of her disability. Her age is 19.

She currently lives in a Council flat and receives housing benefit and council tax benefit.

I currently live elsewhere however I would like her to get a house from the council that is more suited to her disability (i.e. not a third floor flat) and at that time I would move in with her as I would be helping her and the baby.

What are we entitle to? Can she get anything or does my wage prohibit us?

Thank you so much for your help.

Ryan, take the dates of birth out of your post. We've already got your full name. Don't give more info than you need to give on a public forum, your ages are enough.

there is no middle rate mobility. sp either youre a tro;; or you need to get your facts right.

at your level of income, you will be expected to support your partner and your child on your own

"What I am owed" why do you think you are "owed" anything?

Apologies, she is on the lower component for mobility.

So I take it I am not entitle to anything then?

I guess my language could have been more choice. I am simply requesting if someone could let me know what I am entitle to; if anything at all.

Also I believe I or my partner may be entitle to something. If not then I accept that.

Thank you, I have taken the information out, but since the first poster quoted the entire post, it will forever remain there.

on your wage with 1 child you are entitled to nothing.
its abother 8 months before your child arrives and youre already seeing pound signs?
maybe your priorities are wrong

Your partner's date of birth is still in your post. Welshmoneylover should be able to edit it out of post #2.
