HELP ME - UC REVIEW - Ignorance is not bliss.
hi guys,
I had my UC review today and it’s made me realise how much I need to get my head out of the sand. I am the person who is meant to enter my husbands earnings and support him with tax - I have been putting 0 each month because I can not face doing it.
Today she asked about a payment which was for my husband - to an undeclared bank account, I panicked and lied nd then made my husband lie.
I am sure it will be ok - but I don’t want to hide this anymore, I’ve been hiding it from my husband, kids and UC.
I’m catastrophising that I will go to prison and my kids will be humiliated - how would I even tell them knowing I just lied?
My husband is my carer (so double whammy) and I had one job! I haven’t done it and am now putting the whole burden on my family.
it’s a years earning of £34,000 with expenses of approx £14,000.
I feel like I can’t go on - please help!
