Ill give you the facts and anyone In the know can they tell me what the official line is,
This is NOT ME!
Female aged 28 lives in 2 bed house with her 4 year old daughter.
She doesn't work and therefore claims full housing and council tax benefit.
She was seeing a guy who works full time for a while, they split up and recently to my knowledge have started seeing a lot of each other again. He stays round there a lot!! His current living accommodation is that he stays with family and pays £45 a week board.
I have reason to believe he has moved in with her full time or at least stays there more often than not even though she denies it!
Anyone know where this leaves her with regards to her benefits claim? |

"It would massively effect her housing benefit and council tax benefit. "
But only if its proven he's staying there? What if he's there 4 nights a week? Would that class to the benefit people as him living there enough to contribute? X |

If he has an alternative address where he does live then it won't affect her benefits if he is staying over. If, however, you think they are actually living together as a couple then report to your local council. If he is working full-time and they are living together then it would obviously have a big affect on her benefit entitlement.

If there living together im guessing it would affect her benefits, as his income would come into play. |

"His income would be taken into account in terms of her benefits. It should be declared as it will be seen as fraud otherwise."
So even if he stays there for example 5 nights and at his other 'home' 2 nights? I'm suspicious that he's moved in but she won't of declared it! I know what a sneaky fucker he can be x |

If most of his time is spent there and he contributes to the household then it may be deemed that he lives there and visits his parents' home. |

When reporting her you can put this in and claim 'avoidance of benefit reduction through use of second alternative no habitant address' |

If he has another home where he is still paying board etc and does stay there sometimes then it would be very hard to prove they are living together....a lot of evidence is needed to get a decision on it.

"she can have someone stay over 3 nights a week, any more & according to benefits office he should be contributing to the household & there for her would be affected."
Again, that is an urban myth! It is not true!

The harm is my tax (and everyone working) is paying for them to be fraudulent!

The harm is genuine people who need help have to fight to get it whilst there are others out there who play the whole system, get everything but need nothing. |
