Hello there,
I'm new to this site, i've just got off a call to the council and im crying as I write this. My ex partner was a very abusive alcoholic, he got out of rehab a few months ago. He has been staying at his parents house whom he doesn't get along with. Today I got a phone call from him saying that he has had a fight with his dad and it got physical and that he needs to come and live with us. I obviously said no, and was met with a barrage of abuse and threats of social services and the usual nasty things he says. I eventually hung up and got a whatsapp text saying "I'm going to claim for our son so that I can get a place to stay". What I assume by this is that he will put down that he is the primary caregiver to our son on a housing benefit form. He rarely sees him, and i'm worried that this will now affect my universal credit etc. I called the council already to notfiy them and they didn't seem interested. I suffer from severe anxiety and depression after all the abuse I had when he lived here and now it seems he will try and take our tiny bit of money also. Does anyone have any advice on the matter or know how homeless claims work for single men?
Thanks in advance
