Help with benefits
I'm being kicked out of my flat like so many orher people. A family member has offered to help me on the housing ladder with a gift of 13k...it will go straight to a solicitor and I won't see it. Will my benefits stop or be reduced? And by how much? I was planning on quitting universal credit soon anyway (maybe 6 months), but this has put a spoke in the wheels. It seems like a catch-22.
*edited. The deposit is a gift
**update I've just found out for certain that benefits won't be affected if going straight to solicitor! For anyone else who has the same question...
You were right, getting worked up over nothing 😳
