Thanx We handed all the stuff in on a tuesday but put reason for why we couldnt get down the day before. do they just give to you as a lump payment into your a.c or do they send a cheque. Our housing benefit will be paid directly to our estata agents. Not our choice but thats the way it is.lol :grin:

aye. well he says he was on contribution based but they stopped it anyway. I tried working tax credit but I'd have to be either; over 25 workin over 30 hours a week; Have kids; Or be working under 16 hours a week. I definately dont have kids. I cant afford to work only 16hours a week and im only 21. so thats out the window. I pay alot of tax from my wages per week for people that could even just be conning the system, drunks, and drug addicts. u'd think i could get some kind of benefit. we have applied for housing benefit just over 2months ago. weve had one correspondence from them since asking for another copy of one of my payslips. HB will back date any money from the date we applied until the date it starts wont they?

I work 40 hours a week and get about £180 after tax. My rent is £85-£90 a week. My partner was on jsa as jobs are really hard to get round our area. However now he has moved in with me they have stopped his JSA. He has NO other income. Now i am having to pay for rent and for my self and for him. I personally think it is wrong for the JC to just assume i'll pay for him. I have my own stuff to pay for i.e debts ect. Are they allowed to let 2 people like that?
