Hi everyone
I just need some advice really. I'll give you a quick background (save all the q's later)
I moved out of my parents house when i was 16 to move in with a partner. We lived together for a year and then we broke up.
I don't really get on with my parents at all so moving back home wasnt an option. I was told that if i found my own place i could get housing benefit to help pay my rent. ( im not on job seekers)
As i am training to be fully qualified in childcare NVQ3, as those who may have been there know, apprentice wage is terrible for the hours you work, but was my only option to get my qualification!
The council give me £70 a week to pay for my room i currently rent in a house. No Problems.
However now i am pregnant the property is deemed unsuitable for the two of us.
I was told i would be entitled to council housing (they find me a place suitable and help towards rent)
I earn £100 a week and my OH earns £140ish (he only works p/t but doesn't live with me)
Anyone know what deems you viable for council housing when pregnant and if my OH would be allowed to move into or if we would have to live separate?? Or can i still do what i am doing now and find my own place and they give me support towards paying it as i would really like him to be there and not miss out on anything Sticky does!
Anyone going through/gone through this??
thanks....
Sorry for the long background.....Can't really shorten it! :/
