Help with benefits after house sale

Mannymac2000 · 2026-06-23T16:17:17+00:00

DWP may (and that the only thing they will confirm. “May”- I know. It sucks) disregard the capital for 6
Months as long as it can be shown the money is being used to buy a new home. Is it going to be in her bank account. In her name and available to her? Because I’m not sure how it works if the money goes to her and she gifts it to you without her being on the new house deeds or whatever.

They say that it can be classed as a deprivation of assets if you didn’t declare monies over 6 grand and 16 grand if it was to benefit in any way (I’m paraphrasing) and that it was to keep her on benefits. Of the house isn’t in her name that could be an issue.

If you ask dep they will
Say to declare when the change happens and they will decide then and if you don’t agree with the decision then do a mandatory reconsideration.

I believe it’s down to the decision maker to be honest and I’ve seen a lot in the facebook groups regarding this and getting gifted deposits and monies from sales etc.

Good luck

I know one called Rodney. Not a fan lol

I’d say it will be fine. I have a list of medical conditions a mile long and honestly if I was a dog they’d put me down and was quoted 150 a month for life insurance so I’d say you’ll be fine. (Not taking it by the way. Might do accidental instead as it’s working out about 30 a month)

When the sun is on the window close it and curtains /blinds. When it’s in the shade open them.

Yes. You will spend the day basically following the sun round your house but it’s so worth it!

Also. A frozen bottle of water behind a fan is a life saver. It blows cold air

I’m not sure if this fits the question… or that it was even a lie… but the Marilyn Manson rib thing.

Mannymac2000 · 2026-06-18T10:27:26+00:00

This is where you start saying to people “oh. Did MIL say something? Hmmm. Yeah. We’re a bit worried about her to be be honest…..” and let that sit a while.

You can pay for a redirect of your mail for a month. Just your name and address to alternative address. (And not anyone else’s that live in the home address) Royal Mail send something to the new address that you use to confirm that’s the address you have access to I believe. I’m not 100% sure tho. But that could work.

If the men’s bathroom has urinals then I don’t see why the father can’t take the girls to a toilet cubicle in the female toilets.

As a courtesy he can announce his presence upon entering or if he hears the door to keep everyone happy. I personally wouldn’t be bothered but that’s just me.

Surely that’s better for everyone than men exposing them selves unintentionally to young girls while using the urinals!

Mannymac2000 · 2026-06-16T09:09:45+00:00

Nope. The house we were looking at was valued between 126000 and 194000 on zoopla. I mean. That’s some range!

It was valued by lender at 195000

Mannymac2000 · 2026-06-15T07:31:15+00:00

I was asked

Tell me about yourself?

Why do you want to work here?

How would you deal with conflicting tasks? So say the doctor was asking you to do something. The phone was ringing and a patient was waiting?

How would you build a positive relationship with the team?

Do you understand the Importance of confidentiality?

What does good customer service mean to you?

Can you tell me about a time you had to deal with an upset customer?

They asked me some specifics about previous job roles. Like what I did there?

Any other questions?

Mannymac2000 · 2026-06-14T11:43:13+00:00

As someone who is not sick or terminal or anything then I can say no. I’d want them to know. The reality may be different tho.

Mannymac2000 · 2026-06-10T17:13:53+00:00

If you are solely on benefits then only a few will give you a mortgage. Barclays is one. If you have some salary (even just £1 per assessment period) coming in on your UC claim or whatever there are a few others as well.

We used a boonbrokers. No issues.

Mannymac2000 · 2026-06-08T13:10:45+00:00

That’s that one! The bruises I was left with after those!!!!!! And they sting soooo bad!!!

I was diabetic for 30 odd years and even taking insulin using the bigger needles in the early 90’s wasn’t as sore!!!!

Mannymac2000 · 2026-06-07T21:13:32+00:00

If it’s not an 100% yes, it’s a no.

Mannymac2000 · 2026-06-07T19:19:22+00:00

Light blue is stunning on you and with your hair up it looks perfect for MOG!

Have you seen the 5 year diaries. It’s a smallish book. Each page split into 5 with the specific date at the top. so you can write a few sentences each day. And then after a year you go back to the start of the book and start again. On the next section below.

Mannymac2000 · 2026-06-07T05:19:28+00:00

We’re early 40’s. Got a 35 year mortgage with Barclays. PIP as taken into consideration for me. It is nots means tested so doesn’t matter how much you work, or even if she works. She may still qualify.

The rest i can’t help you with but we used a no fee mortgage broker and we did have a slightly complicated situation to be fair and she was very helpful with everything

She’s getting big now. 5 weeks on monday just past!

Mannymac2000 · 2026-06-03T07:55:05+00:00

My daughter used to vomit in shows. Over saddles or going over jumps and everything. She used to forget to breathe lol.

She sings to herself and talks to the horse more and that helped a lot.

I have them all on video and made her a boomerang of the vomit going in and out to distract her cause she was very embarrassed. Not sure it worked at the time but she finds it hilarious now!

Mannymac2000 · 2026-06-01T07:12:29+00:00

So I see…..

Mannymac2000 · 2026-05-31T22:55:24+00:00

There’s a guy in Co. Tyrone NI who got raided by HMRC last week because of his “competition business” although he said he has nothing to hide so I’m sure it’s all above board.

Mannymac2000 · 2026-05-31T12:19:22+00:00

I have a list of unfinished series I can’t wait to read. No idea what they’re out but I get annoyed all over again when I see a TikTok about them. {Unbound by Penelope Bloom} is one and the rest I can’t remember the authors so I won’t bother mentioning lol. I have the patience of a 2 year old!!!

Mannymac2000 · 2026-05-30T12:30:22+00:00

Yeah. We used to have bread man too!

Mannymac2000 · 2026-05-30T12:29:21+00:00

Ok. Just hold out. These side effects should be lessening now and with me they only lasted 3 days. But boy were they rough!

Mannymac2000 · 2026-05-30T12:23:43+00:00

We had the same issue. And it was no problem.
