My partner has allot of debts to pay of
So if he paid his debts off and is assets were less than 16k what would happen then?

This may be classed as Deprivation of Capital, the rules on this are not entirely black and white but if they pay off off loans that are not due, an example of this would be the early paying off of a mortgage, then it is likely to be a problem.

If it is treated as Deprivation of capital then they will be considered to still be in possession of the money and your ESA will be affected in the same way.

How would this be deprevation of capital they are debts he’s had from his divorce they are debts he’s got too pay off the loans are due as they are debts and the debt people are chasing him

Can I please ask
This if I do move in with my partner and he does not claim for anything and he works I would still get my contribution ESA related amount ?
I was transferred to ESA from the old incapacity benefit apparently my ESA is made up of £79.00 income related and £110.00 contribution based, I read somewhere on the internet that if a person was transferred from the old incapacity style the would get full contributions rate? Also how long does the contribution element last for is this ongoing is there a time limit on CB rate ESA

Allot of my questions haven’t been answered
I would appreciate if you could answer them

1. if My partner gets his vol redundancy 30k what will I be entitled too with my benefits ESA

2, if he gets vol redundancy and gets a job what’s is the limit he can earn and how many hits can he work if this is paid work or self employed before any of my ESA stops like I said they said I get both CB and IR ESA but my claim is classed as income related which doesn’t make any sense still

3, if he gets VOl redundancy but can’t go back work because of his sickness what will we be both entitled to would it have to be a new joint claim for UC if so what would it be

1. Just your ESA(CB)

2. If he works for 24 or more hours a week then your ESA(IR) will be stopped. His income will be deducted £ for £ from your ES(IR) until it eroded, there should be a £20/week disregard.

3. He may be able to make a claim for New Style ESA, this is the equivalent of your ESA(CB) and is in his name only, it will be dependant on his NO Contribution history. If he is not able to claim NS ESA then they can be added to your ESA claim. There should be no need for either of you to claim Universal Credit unless you need to make a new claim for one of the benefits that come under the UC umbrella, the obvious one being Housing Benefit.

Sorry just wanted to ask if he was not working and we had to claim for housing benefit under UC would I still get my IR ESA and contribution rate or would I lose this
