My partner and I separated back in March, she moved out of our jointly mortgaged home and moved into a rented property. I still live in our mortgaged property and we both agree we have no intention of selling just yet.
She started claiming income support in her new rented property and has been paid since March, last week they told her that her benefits would be stopped because she jointly owns her former home and it is classed as an income.
How can this be? She doesn't 'earn an income' from this house just as I don't.. Until we sell and make a profit of course.
