A question about : Sorry, posted in wrong place, please delete. Confused about application

Hi

I'm looking for some advice with regard to benefits for my elderly father. I've never claimed myself and am finding the various sources of guidance extremely confusing.

My father is 76 and is diabetic and has been for many years. He is also on medication for high blood pressure and has a heart murmur.

He lives with my mother and their work pensions are such that they receive, from memory, around Ј5 per week HB and Ј7 per week CT benefit (maybe the other way round).

Ex has income paid via his wife to avoid paying CSA

A question about : Ex has income paid via his wife to avoid paying CSA

Hi this has been going on for a few years now and I feel CSA are fobbing me off. My ex pays Ј21.81 a month for our 2 children, his wife doesn't work at all. He runs his own company (think he changed it into wife's name) and claims he only earns between Ј5-Ј100 a week.
In reality, he drives around in brand new Range Rover, has bought a 6 bedroomed house in France, owns a large 5 bedroom house in UK, holidays in caribbean frequently and claims he shall be able to retire soon because he's earned enough.

Ex Going Self-Employed

A question about : Ex Going Self-Employed

Hi

Ex has informed me he's going to be self employed from the next couple of weeks. Previously I got paid regular maintenance as he was in full time work. However he's telling me payments may be irregular with him starting up. He's not disputing the amount, just when it might be paid.

Do I just have to accept this? Is there anyone out there with a self-employed ex (or a paying father who is self employed) who could advise me?
