Right To Buy Scheme after Succession 4 years ago

anyone else beginning to think this is a wind up?

Sorry you are plain wrong there my friend, Its my life, what i want is the entire point but its not about what i want at all its about what i and those i will be caring for need to ensure a good future both while im alive and after im gone.

and how do i earn anything without making this initial first steps i wonder hmmm? You dont know my situation or why i cant hold a normal job like everyone else, i promise you its not from a lack of trying and a few times iv even hospitalised myself for weeks doing too much trying to be normal like eveyone else and lead a normal life.

Would you have me rot my life away on welfare further introducing my partner and possibly my kids onto the welfare system after im gone too? i'm trying to do something more with our life's, that's a lot more than others on welfare can say for themselves.

I dont think I deserve any money from anyone that i haven't earned that's my problem in fact... The very reason i didn't spend spend spend over the years until my partner moved in. When she moved in I spent a !!!! load of this "tax payers money" you say im not entitled too on renovating and decorating my very old house, i did it mainly for her i didn't give a hoot, after all it had a full family in it since 2003 it was falling apart for years and needed a lot of work but i was used to it, new bathroom new kitchen, full decorating job and now the work im having done upstairs to ad rooms and bathroom. This money you say im not entitled too yet i have been receiving for years and not spending just saving and saving and saving till jenny moved in, I had 0 part to play in that, my support worker did all of that for me when i was still in the care homes. But fortunately its not up to you to say who entitles to things and who are not. Iv never asked for any of this but i tell you what im damn well gonna make the best attempts to get out of it and make myself self sufficient this is part of the whole point to begin with

We deserve as nice a life as anyone other average person.

To add to this we get this reassessment form booklet every 6 months usually and i give it to my support worker to do and after they send me a certificate that says plain and simple you are wrong

not a wind up i promise im just not used to writing all this stuff in forums to people., youv all gave us so much to think about we are both very grateful for those of you who have genuinely helped us and i only had one question but so many people have added so much extra information that im still so glad i asked here. Some of you go a bit too personal though and im rather embarrassed but im still so gald i asked about this I have so many things i didnt know about before to think about. And im very sorry if any of my conversation i can be a bit defensive with some peoples morewhat invasive questions its a side effect from dealing with people like this my whole life unfortunalty.

the reason for my initial confusion was that i didn't know what relationship was needed for the discounts to be applied under the rtb scheme but its all been cleared up and im aware that sons and daughters dont get the discount from the parents its only spouse and i didnt know what that meant until our conversations here but its like husbands and wifes so thats not me.

so to finalise we have decided to wait and build on our discount which to anyone that doesn't know is there to help those of us that otherwise can not afford to buy our homes, buy our homes.
This will then give us the rights to host our own lodgers on our own terms which will then allow me to support myself and my family and a comfortable life off welfare for us too.
or
My original plan of letting all property out but after a lot of thought and conversation with you and my partner I think we will be in for a world of surprises if we go that route, so to start things off for us I think its probably a better idea to host lodgers and save quite a large sum first and possible look into getting an agency involved as well as im starting to think it would be a more sensible idea

And that's exactly my point.

I've been in minimum wage employment since I left school and renting for the last 20 years, yet the government doesn't give me a big wodge of cash to buy the room in the bedsit that I'm currently living in so that I can let it out to foreign students and make a profit.

Harkness

i think your confused i dont get a big wadge of cash from anywhere, Like everyone else iv saved and scumped over the years.. your entitled to a mortgage like the rest of us, i just didn't think i could get one with my situation but i was wrong and thats a big game changer for us and the disability welfare that i get each month is about same as anyone would make on minimum wage job certainly not a big wedge of cash after housing and bills and all else is done.

Harkness

actually i think mines a little bit higher than compared to a 9-5 minimum wage job but thats for my personal circumstance, its not everyone, we have extra costs for health reason/equipment, special mobility car and a bunch of other services too. but after its all paid all necessities food bills all that jumbo. usually im left with a few hundred left to go to saving. but before my partner moved in i was saving so much more but thats understandable 2 mouths etc you know.
I know im better off like this but what about when im gone? what happens if jenny has kids and im gone thats not a situation i want to leave them in so i need to do anything and everything i possible can do change our lifes

diggingdude

If you buy that house make sure you legally protect yourself incase the other half decides she wants to leave and take half/ Thats a genuine safeguarding recommendation

Harkness

Thats a very good idea no one likes thinking about these things but anything is possible

What would you call the RTB discount that you're after then?
