Hi everyone,first time posting,recent lurker.My dilemma is for a while I have been receiving PiP benefit and universal credit benefit, due to having RA, had to give up my my houshouskeeping job at a well known budget chain hotel nearby,cause of of my health deteriated.
My ex,children's father became my unofficial Carer.
My health has improved thankfully.
Unfornately my children's father's health has reversed,to the extant he was sectioned briefly,still suffers from very severe mental health issues,and has been in an out of hospital with strokes,has recently only just come out,
My dilemma is only recently found out that he has not informed,the energy companies that he had stopped living at his previous address,as he became my unofficial carer,
Do I inform the energy companies that he stopped living there a while ago?at the risk the energy company to validate,check up to see if this is true,at the risk social security will find out and penalise us in some way,benefit wise, cause of lack of disclosure of this infor before, (would social security/H M Agency be reasonabe,so we only pay minimum payments back to them? Or do I leave this infor out to energy company and ullity company obviously don't run the risk of social security being informed,
Would really appreciate if a staff member from social security benefits agency and HM tax Agency could get in touch,with their advice please,
How would our personal circumstances issues,affect my children's father state pension and my PIP benefit and universal credit benefit payments ?
ps any useful advice,infor be appreciated,thanks
