She’s been on UC all along. There was never a ‘one income house hold’.
The house is and always has been in only Kayleigh’s name. Meaning Dan can/could have been kicked out at any time. Kayleigh, in the eyes of the system has played the ‘single mum card’ since the youngest was born. She’s had rent paid to her from UC. (She only had to top it up by £50). Dans wages used to cover the bills, food, petrol, Kayleigh’s fags/vapes and her benefits went on herself and her stupid Vinted hauls. She only did OFs because her youngest is coming up to school age so there’s more pressure from UC to get a job.
