| Notes about other income » |
| Voluntary and charitable payments |
| Voluntary payments can be from anyone except a former partner or parent of child in family (in which case would count as maintenance). Voluntary payments can be used for anything - so long as the person giving the money is not legally required to pay it and does not expect or receive anything in return. |
| Boarders and Lodgers |
| Definition: BOARDERS get meals included with their accommodation. LODGERS don't. |
| Fostering Allowances |
| Fostering allowances do not count as income. However, fostered children do not count as part of the family for HB. |
