If he doesn't live with you then you have nothing to worry about. If they do ask questions then they may ask for proof of where he's living, where's his address is registered at.If it's just you with your children and you still claim tax credits for them then you should be claiming a single person discount for your Council tax reduction, a letter proving this reduction is good enough to send. If need be send them this but only if they ask for proof.A claim for SDP can take 3 weeks for payments to start, slightly longer is any backdated money is owed.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
