Yes, but his records are for his parent's house. No living ties here.
My house, mortgage and bills all in my name.
Paperwork wise, I don't exist.Thank you for the info.
It is a single claim. I can afford to keep everything going, but eventually, when we know what's coming in, it can be used for contribution and his self budgeting.
You are committing benefit fraud.0 -

Yes fair enough x0 -
PIP and ESA, universal credit hasn't been mentioned and he only went to a face to face checkup with them a few months ago which he passed.
Its been a lifetime of negative reinforcement for him living at home where he's told he can't work or won't be able to do it because if his issues.
You mention ESA can you ask him to check his letters and see if it says income related or contributions based.
Does he live with parents? If so they need to agree an amount for board but shouldnt be recieving his benefit payments unless he is unable to manage. If he lives elsewhere he definitly should have benefits registered to his address and take control.
The second paragraph bothers me... please ask him to reach out to the Autistic community. Lots of positive role models, support and most of all help understanding himself.0 -
Does he live with parents?
Information has been given in drips and drabs... not ideal when asking for advice because the correct information can't be given.0 -
Thanks Poppy I missed that.
Definitely sounds like a phone call to dwp needed plus squaring up any council tax etc.. and also making sure things like carers allowance are claimed by the correct party etc.
It's starting to sound like a vulnerable person in a sticky situation. With others controlling their money etc and at worse fraud by not using correct address. That is very worrying
I really think the person involved needs to go to CAB and get help notifying the right people, gaining control of own finances etc.0 -
If the partner has an appointee and this could be possible then it will be their responsibility to report any changes, if they don't then they will be responsible for any overpayments regarding the ESA and any other benefits they maybe claiming.0

I would suggest looking at the National Autistic Society Website and phoning their helpling.
Also voluntary work might be a good idea to boost confidence and skills without affecting benefits.
He does need to find out what benefits he is receiving though. I was the appointee for my son (23) until he asked for that to be relinquished. He's been in debt ever since lol, but part of life's experience I guess. However he does still live with me but I don't rescue him anymore.0 -

From post 5, it sounds possible that the person has never worked. Wilkie that affect whether ESA would be income or contribution based?
Either way, he urgently needs to find out if his parents are his appointee.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.0
