I have a father who has recently gained a Parental Responsibility order for his 4 children as his ex partner has abandoned the children and set up home with another man.
The house is owned by the ex partner and she is charging them £1200.00 per month rent. The father has never owned the property.
The father has live alone there since 25/01/09 but before this period they lived as a couple from 23/11/07- 01/04/2008. But from 05/07/2008-16/10/200/ his ex-partner lived there alone, it seems the father moved out for this period.
Would you pay HB, or if you say no which reg would you use for refusal. [/b]
