There have been cases where married couple have separated but remained under the same roof and been classed as single after an investigation.

Now they cannot say you must never stay at your boyfriend's house overnight but if you were to spend 4 or more nights there, then you would be over 50% which might tip the balance.

I would not worry about things in a house share but I would not move everything into one room.

There have been cases - and usually it is a matter of ensuring that you both have seperate living arrangements, but it does take a visit by the DWP to verify that.

The number of nights is an urban myth - you could be staying 2 nights a week in your boyfriends space, and still be deemed as LTAHAW, IF you shared other common spaces, fridge and were financially linked. Thats why it is such a grey area and needs a visit by the DWP to satisfy the criteria!!

Good luck with your interview
