    Hey there,

    There's no set way of getting seen by the Council/VEC as being independent. It has happened in the past that people, through gentle arguments have been assessed on their own income, but as I said there is no set manner to get around this.

    There are plans for under 23s to be assessed on their own income with rumours of this due to be starting in 2009/10, but no information about how this will work has come out yet.

    Sorry I can't help more.
