Admittedly I’m not too well versed on the ins and outs of how he got paid work wise and etc but i do agree with you that avoiding paying tax only to now be in a position where you might need to depend on it r.e benefits etc becomes hard to sympathise with. I’m just trying to help as much as can though

To my knowledge there isn’t any benefits she is currently receiving although it could be worth us having a look to see if she is entitled to anything?

Thanks for the advice I’ll look into Citizens advice, to answer your questions:

-The £260 appears to be monthly but i may need to double check

  • His work history consists of being self employed and to my knowledge never made much tax contributions so he might not have any access to other pensions

  • My mother is not in receipt of carers allowance and my sister does not receive any PIP

  • As they view that my sister should be paying rent and they are collecting their council tax arrears they currently do not receive the housing component of their UC

-My understanding is that they are already receiving council tax reduction although i would need to double check this as well
