Hi Everyone, hope some kind person can advise me, me and my husband are claiming housing and community charge benefits at present, my 25yr old son came home last week and told us that the company he had worked for 7 years had layed them off on the 21st Jan with no forseeable work for him and also he wouldn't be able to pay them their wages which were due on the 24th, consequently my son having no money has come home to stay, what i would like to ask is how will this affect our household where benefits are concerned, i have filled in a change of circumstances form for the local council and will take it in later, i would like to know how much money they will expect my son to pay, we don't own our house, we rent it from a housing association, we have 2 other children, both at college, 1 waiting to go to university, no savings to fall back on and both of us in our late fifties, sorry its long winded, just wanted to put as much info as possible, many thanks.
