The Couple at No 9: ‘Spine-chilling’ - SUNDAY TIMES

Product Information

The first couple to tie the knot was Jay, a 31-year-old sales manager from Lancashire, and Luke, 30, a sales executive from Clacton. The sections on the extra amount for severe disability, the extra amount for carers, the extra amount for housing costs and on the extra amount for children give more information about these special circumstances. Rules for couples If your customer has a partner and they are treated as a couple, they will have a joint ‘appropriate amount’ and their income and capital will be added together when we work out their Pension Credit. The provisions of occupational and personal pensions for dependants of a pension scheme member will depend on the rules of the scheme. Most schemes offer benefits to dependent children and some will offer benefits to a dependent partner.

Savings Credit is an extra amount for people who reached State Pension age before 6 April 2016 who have made some provision for their retirement (such as savings or a second pension) which brings their income above a level set by Parliament, called the Savings Credit starting point. (This is called the Savings Credit threshold in the legislation.) Customers can get Savings Credit with or without Guarantee Credit. They may still get Savings Credit even if their income is above their ‘appropriate amount’. Who can qualify for Savings Credit As there is no upper age limit for entitlement to tax credits, an existing award can continue when one member of a couple reaches the qualifying age for Pension Credit. The ownership of possessions can be quite complicated. However, there are some general rules which apply, for example, property you owned before you started cohabiting remains yours and the person who bought an item generally owns it. It will probably be owned jointly if bought from a joint account. Property given by one partner to the other usually belongs to the receiver of the gift. However, this can be difficult to prove. your customer’s income is calculated, including how earnings are calculated and income disregards are treated I’ve read a couple of books by Claire Douglas before and really enjoyed them.

Neither partner has a legal duty to support the other financially. If you have children, find out how to arrange child maintenance. To find out the age at which your customer could become entitled to Pension Credit, you can use the Pension Credit calculator. How we work out income for Pension Credit The amount of earnings ignored in the Pension Credit calculation is on top of any disregards on other types of income. Normal disregards If your partner is the sole owner, you may have no rights to remain in the home if you are asked to leave. Since 6 April 2015, people have been able to choose what they want to do with their “defined contribution” pension fund. This is where the contributor builds up a pot of money, known as a “pension pot”, rather than the right to a pension.If one partner dies without leaving a will, the surviving partner will not automatically inherit anything unless the couple owned property jointly. As an unmarried couple, you need to make wills if you wish to make sure that the other partner inherits. For more information, find out what happens to your home when you separate. Owner-occupiers Living together If you don't have children and your partner is the sole owner, the only way you may be able to claim long-term rights to the property is if you are able to show you have a 'beneficial interest' in it. This is a way of getting a court to formally recognise contributions you have made towards the home. The court could also recognise an understanding you had with your ex-partner when you bought the home that you would have a share in it if it were sold. If you are able to prove you have a beneficial interest in the home, you may be able, for example, to get the right to live in the home, prevent your ex-partner from living there or get a share of the proceeds if the home is sold.
