Housing benefit help

A question about : Can I own a field and claim HB?

We are a family of five who rent a smallholding privately but the rent is high. We have quite a few animals.

My uncle lent us some money for a deposit but wecan't get a mortgage as we are both on low incomes and self employed. The money is sitting in a low interest account as we can never decide what to do. It is below the Ј16000 limit. I want to buy just a couple of acres with this money.

Is that possible or will it mean we will no longer be able to claim HB?

All advice and info greatly appreciated.

A question about : Help please

Hi I'm not sure if this has been posted in the correct place apologise if it has not. I am buying my parent home they are both unemployed and their mortgage ends next year. I am buying it at the amount left outstanding on their mortgage which is Ј26,000. The property is worth 85k and we have been advised by a financial advisor they should gift us the rest of the money if they were to do this would they have their unemployment benefits stopped?

Thanks

A question about : Can I get advice re council tax here?

Can I get advice about Council Tax here? We are desperately struggling to pay council tax and have discovered that it is banded at least 2 higher than it should be from the instructions on this site.
We plan to approach our Landlord about this. What happens if they are not happy for us to appeal the banding?

A question about : Benefit change from JSA to ESA suspended Housing Benefit payments.

We are a family with 2 children aged 3 and 8.

We relocated to a privately rented home almost 12 months ago and for 10 months we have been claiming JSA, HB and CT. My partner has several ill health problems and was told he must claim ESA as was to ill to find work.

Unfortunatley on top of other illnesses (chronic af, uncontrolled diabetes etc) he had been admitted to a Secure Mental Health unit and whilst in there we changed over to ESA.

A question about : Housing benefit query (matrimonial split)

A married friend was told by her husband he no longer loves her. He is trying to get her out the house they still both share. She suspects he is having an affair but this is not a question about divorce/division of assets.

A question about : Housing Benefit

Hi, I'm hoping someone may be able to give me a little more help. I got loads of really good advice last week, which was much appreciated!

Bascially, my husband and I have separated. He is still living in the house that I own (mortgaged, just my name on the mortgage). He has just received confirmation that he will be getting contributions based ESA, and so now we are going to start looking to see if he can find a place to rent.

A question about : universal credit and rent claw back.

hi
does anyone know if the rent claw back for under occupancy will apply to a familly with a disabled child that needs a room of his own. Any help thanks. what they are saying is two children of the same sex can share a room so the familly is under occupying the property.
