I've recently moved back to London after living abroad for most of my 20s and I'm now living with my mother who has disabilities, she gets PIP and DLA? I'm starting a new job next month and I will need to provide a certificate of hours I''ll be working
35hrs a week to be exact so I can then contribute to the rent which I already do but housing benefit will then work out how much I need to contribute as it's by law, at the moment she gets most of her rent paid by the housing association she pays the remainder with her PIP I believe I'm not entirely sure, however, I can't find anything online to suggest how much they will take out of my wages as I'm now a non-dependent living with her, contributing isn't an issue but if I'm earning let's say for example £1,600 a month after tax £1,280 and they take let's say anywhere between £600-700 a month how am I going to manage that renting abroad was way cheaper and with other overhead bills added, I'll be left with nothing surely they don't take that much from a non-dependent and the main purpose for moving back home was to look after my mum as she's getting on now. london London London reminds me of why I moved away in the first place.
