Benefits conundrum.....

maxmycardagain

well, she is moving a short distance to be a live in carer for her mother, she wont need to claim benefits and will be legally moving out the marital home, she is only 40 months from her own SP when i guess this is all academic

if her mother passes hubby will move in with her

One more question....

they both work for the same firm, they have only ever had part time hours and "standby" when there is no work, the company is now looking at withdrawing that standby leaving them both without hours or income, if they leave of thier own volition do the DSS pay benefits? I recall giving up a job means the DSS would refuse to pay benefits 

Small point.  The DSS hasn’t existed for 23 years.  It’s the DWP
