Can someone help me decipher the best course of action please?
The claimant (Mr) is divorced with three children at one property and has made a claim for HB.
His new wife has job in pub and contract states she has to live there.
Mr states that pub is unsuitable for his small children (1 disabled) and he states he cannot live there.
This claim has already been put into payment by one of our officers but the wifes income has not been included.
I want to know if we can legitimately use the wife’s income on the Husbands claim even though his wife is not at claimants property.
Thanks
