    I have the deeds he gave me my step mother can vouch he had gave it to me (hence why she didn't think of it when sorting all dad's affairs out) she just assumed it was mine. We just didn't do the paperwork side of it my dad was 71 very stubborn ex farmer stuck in his ways thinking I have the paperwork and when he goes I would automatically get the land so no need to do the paperwork side of it he wouldn't talk about death or wills ever if we tried to bring it up he would just say "don't start talking like that" he was in his own little world he wouldn't use the phone etc very stuck in his ways (bless him) I don't even know who had put the claim in for housing benefit as he wouldn't of done it (phone phobia) he brought the land when he was working then later in life he had a stroke he didn't work again due to his health and like I said very simple life. My stepmother is disabled and she is worrying sick I'm going to loose out and we get in trouble because of this. Dad was not a fraud at all he was just a bit silly not thinking it was a asset he would of thought a asset is a house that's it (as what my step mother said when I told her about this her words "well why would he say it's a asset it's ures" trying to tell old people the laws etc is hard work believe me! ��

    Hmm, that's a concern. If he didn't, then who signed the form stating that you were providing a complete list of assets and income? And on what basis did they know this?
  • He probably signed it to be fair but he wouldn't of spoke on the phone though.
