Hi

My wife earns £9000 and is leaving me but wants to stay in our house which she can''t afford to do, what benefits could she claim to help up her funds ?

Thanks

She can have a benefits check on line or with the CAB, I doubt anyone on wiki has the same expertise.

Looks like a useful site WR.

If the house is mortgaged the DWP maybe able to help in some circumstances.
