    But he hasnt declared anything and as far as the tax man is concerned he is still living in Italy and commuting to England once a week (his salary would permit him to do that) and the parents are still claiming benefit and HB.
    His parents will be in trouble if they haven't declared the change in circumstances. There should be a non dependant deduction coming off their Housing Benefit.

    Thanks, just as I thought. This has been going on for 7 years!!! Also the son isnt even on the electoral register. As far as they and the tax man is concerned he lives in Italy.

    Seven years is a lot of benefit to pay back. Don't know where he stands, but presumably it's not good either. :(
