    Just because you dont live together dosnt mean that you are not classed as LTAMAW by DWP, the DWP consider many aspects of relationships, such as do you shop together? Do you eat together? and loads of other things including does he maintain his own household?, we get single parents here all the time that get called for IUC after somone reports them for LTAMAW.

    Its the biggest benefit fraud ATM, claiming to be single while having a partner and living as a family in everyway apart from benefits where they
    want to be seen as single to claim more money.

    I am answering your question and certainly not accusing you of doing this, ONW has a much bigger font of knowlege on this.

    well to clear a few things up (i feel like i am airing my washing in the public to prove my innocence here)
    I may well have a boyfriend, we are not enganged/married etc he has his own life, his own finances, he buys his own groceries with his money, his own bank accounts, not connected with me at all. i am 100% just a single mum. we don't live together and will not be for the foreseeable future, and that will be several years
    Life is about give and take, if you can't give why should you take?

    Im sorry if my explantion of the problems that we hear about all the time upset you, I always assumed that living together was the base line but apparently the DWP dont see things that way and other single mothers have come unstuck, I only asked you if you had seen the posts.

    Pleased that the post got there, that can sometimes be a feat in itself.

    sorry:confused:

    sunnyone no worries but can you explain what LTAMAW means, you lost me there.

    I would only claim what i am entitled to, and not a penny more, it's not right for people to claim what they shouldn't when we struggle as it is to get what we are due

    It all depends on your personal circumstances too...

    you will need to contact them to ask, better still if you are able to get to a benefits agency ask them for the form...

    There is no point asking if they only get HRM as they will not be entitled to the SDP.
