    Check the quote in my above post. Seems to indicate such a requirement does exist.

    Delain - I'm not trying to hijack your thread, I think it's important you know this and am interested myself. If you would rather I drop it let me know and I will do
    Well check with your local CAB who will clarify it!

    I had always thought it went along the lines of how many nights they spent with you but clearly not...

    The Compliance Officer said that Housing benefit use the 3 night rule but there is no such rule for the DWP.

    They base their decision on whether your couple not on the fact that you are living together but the way you are perceived in public, ie if they asked my neighbours if I was single & they no I have a boyfriend then we are a couple for benefits purposes.

    It's rediculous isn't it. :mad:

    i do find that odd, as we didn't think we were doing anything wrong and the plan has always been to live together when his credit card was at a manageable level.
