Iam not sure where this goes

I get paid sick benefits as iam not well. I live with my mum and her parnter. We made a agreement ni pay 80 quid incudes rent food water ect.

Iam not sure is it to much paying every time I get paid?

I got to also pay my rent that I owe from my last place I need to pay that or ive been told by her property people I wont be alould to stay and kick me out then become homeless and I dont have much money left I need it for things I need what do I do

Are you paying £80 a week? For everything?

Former Member

No I mean, are you paying £80 weekly?

Am I right in thinking then that in total you pay £80 and your mum and her partner pay £20 to make £100?

£100 a week to include rent, bills and food is very cheap. £80 for all of that is crazy and I wish my life could be that cheap. However the split isn't fair and if what I've asked is correct, your mum should be paying more.

Whether it's too much does depend on how much money you have coming in. I pay just under 1/3 of my benefits to mum and pay £30 every month to dad for my phone bill and Virgin TV box.
