My mother is nearing the age for the state pension and she's filling out the form.
Section 6 of the form has a heading called other payments.
There is a section for living alone allowance. She won't be applying for this because she doesn't live alone. My parents are separated but I (in my 30s) live at home.
There is a section for household benefit package and fuel allowance.
Further on there is a section under this section for other payments. It requests to state the others living with you, their pps number and income.
I find this baffling to say the least. I'm not loaded. I can't afford to move out for home.
Why does the social welfare require these details?
Its not like what I earn is my mothers money or she has her hands on my wage or my wage is another source of income for her. Does that make sense?
