Quick question

kimp22

If I contact the social services they can tell me he might not live at home but I have parental responsibility for him. He hasn't been placed by the social services there it's just easier for the social to leave him there. Less hassle

They can't tell you if the people he's living with have claimed any benefits for him.

I do not buy the OP story at all. 

Troll. 

'son' paying this other family £200 A Week, where is that coming from? At 15 years old.
Son living with this other family although the girlfriend is now in Foster care. 


Pull the other one.

When I say social services I mean his social worker and hes not giving the mother £200 per week the friend's mums boyfriend give her £200 a week towards bills and foods because he's working and she claiming uc.
If I was to let someones children to live with me I couldn't afford to pay for them and I am on benefits. In early September the social worker said she was waiting for the money to come through. 
So he either lying or the family is claiming through the boyfriend now because he work. 
His girlfriend is in foster care there behaviour over  lockdown 1 and the stuff both have been saying. Both her parents and us have basically been made out to be child abusers by them.
But with my son I have been begging for help with him for ages off the social services and they only came out because he refused to come home. They had to do a assessment at that house and make sure if it kicks off there he can come back here. 
But I think they have enough police reports of his behaviour to believe us when we say its not true. Hes at a pru been seen by camhs. Camhs said no austium he knows what he's doing.
He doesn't like rules or the word no and where he's living they let him do what he wants. 
I will ring his social today and ask her.

This part of the forum is to help people with benefits, it's not a discussion forum.

 be fair puppy because there is no no discussion forum at the moment
People have questions  and scenarios that they need help with

I spoke to his social worker and she is visiting next week and will find out. 
If one of the parents are working when it be them what would have to claim about for working tax credit but any uc for the whole family. Would the mother have a separate claim from her partner.

If they live together as a couple then whether they are claiming UC or tax credits they claim as a couple BUT working doesn't mean they are not entitled to any benefits. There's no way of finding out if any benefits are being claimed, even the social worker will not be able to find this out.

I know I just want to know weather the partner if he's working and claiming work tax credits then can she claim child tax credits as well separately. The social worker can ask if they are claiming benefits for my son they are entitled to do that. when they do an assessment they want to know every benefit your claiming and make sure your getting what your entitled to.

In my experience social workers know very little about benefits and most definitely wouldn't be my first port of call when asking for a information about entitlement.

I think you are a bit too fixated on what this other family are or aren't claiming, instead I would be concentrating on rebuilding my relationship with my child
