Pensioner Earnings/Benefits Advice

[Blue Til Death]

My old man currently has circa £169 a week benefits, out of that he pays £70 a month on an interest only mortgage (his own fault for marrying a young bird who fucked off and demanded wedge off him, forcing him to remortgage a house he owned)

What i would like to know is, can I pay a direct debit into his account say around £100 a month, without it affecting his pension entitlement??

I've been round the houses on line and nobody can give me a straight answer, its down to the wise old sages on here to sort it for me.... All advice and puns gratefully received....

Rather than give him money could you not pay the mortgage?

I would give him 100 cash each month.
Even if he just used that for bits of shopping etc

Would need more than this info - is he on pension guarantee credit or anything else that is means tested?

I would be happy to do that mate but he is a stubborn old fucker and i am having great difficulty getting him to accept anything, the big disadvantage is i live in London and he lives in Hyde, otherwise I would just give him cash

you could send him the cash by registered post through Royal Mail?

Tried that tack bud, he is from that generation that think it shameful if you have to take hand outs, its all I can do to get him to take benefits..... We live hundreds of miles apart so it makes things difficult to organise when he is not cooperating ...!

Thats a good call mate, thank you, I never thought of doing that, he would defo take it and could use it shopping whilst still paying bills from his account
