Hi lochpike

As per my previous post, the point to take into account is; If a co-owner or joint tenant is a close relative of you (or your partner), they will count as a non-dependant (and so exclude you from the SDP)

From the information in your original post you stated you were a co-owner with your father (a close relative) you will therefore be excluded from the SDP.

Hi lochpike

As a thought you could ask your MP, if they do not know then then will be able to ask the Secretary of State for Works and Pension.

Sorry think your wrong there Gary I will get back with what I eventually find out because it states if you are a Co owner before a certain date and they are a close relative then they are classed as not non dependants I will find out soon it states that at the bottom of your post
Thanks
