what will happen if my partner can't get a job?

Im really just saying that it looks like some people are using there dla as income to set up an iva adn some ips are not taking into account additional costs .Mine did in the start but i sorted this out in the first year review.When he thought my outgoings were to high etc like electric 30 a week because i have to use tumble drier all the time.Its only then he said i didnt realise you had a disabled son , i got a bit miffed because why would we be using my sons dla if he hadnt have known.Its not you im getting at i am just trying to find out who sets these guidelines , then i will try to find out if they are right in doing so

Your DLA money should not be being used to contribute to your disposable income - and if it is then you have grounds for complaint.

Thank you.Who sets the guidelines for including dla in as income.For example the people that say we have to state exactly what we spend dla etc on.I just want to find out why i cant just say expenditure for this spent on childs needs.

The creditors - under current IVA protocol you have to make a full disclosure of all family income and expenditure.

Thank you i will find out if they are in fact under law able to demand this.
