But it's not IS who are asking you to attend an interview it's your council, that would be why I am talking about HB and CTB.

I have an idea it was my ex husband who probabley "grassed" me up!...we've had major problems between us with solicitors and threats from him..anyway..

My new husband is being interviewed in relation to my claim.....its not about him..they want to question him about me. Yes he lived in a shared house

OK so i don't know if this would carry any weight but if a member or members of the shared house are still there, i would get them to sign a statement saying that your partner spent "x" amounts of nights per week at the house. I would get your partner to say to the council that although he could not prove the mail was going missing by housemates stealing it, he innocently asked you if it could be delivered there to avoid any confrontation. After all if it was going missing, the post office staff could have been nicking it. Point out the times you sought advice, maybe go back to the departments and see if they have any logs of your visits and advice given. If they have ask if you can have a printout and take them along with you. At least it shouws you made the effort to find out about benefit entitlements and what happens if when circumstances change. It may bode well for you it may not, but it is what i would do.

Good Luck, keep us informed.

Ok now we are getting somewhere
So you are saying firstly he was your carer, this then blossomed into a relationship? Am I right so far lol

We decided to marry in october, and actually got married in November.

We started to live together end of october

He lived in 2 different addresses before he moved in with me

2 years ago he was going to move in with me and help out with caring and bills, thats when he started working for the council, hence thats why they have my address, because i was going to come off of benefits but when my ex husband found out he went mad and caused all sorts of trouble with solicitors and threatened all my family..its a long story...so he was here for 2 weeks but then we both felt it best he moved out...he rented a room a few miles away for a year then rented another room for nearly a year.

Yes all of his mail comes here

The only way people can give useful advice is if they have ALL the facts.
On another point, they do not need "proof", they make their decision on "the balance of probability".

Can I ask you a couple of things?

1. When did you decide to marry (you presumably booked registrars, other stuff at some point)?

2. When did you decide to start "living together"?

3. Where did he live before moving in with you; was it the same address all the time you were boyfriend & girlfriend?

4. If he was staying with a friend, why would his post not be safe, and therefore why did he need to use your address? And why for work - do they send a lot of valuables through the post?

5. Has he used your address for other purposes? Bank? Credit cards?

So you came off benefits for the 2 weeks he lived with you, he then got a job and moved out?

Kath13

Yes for about 18 months alongside my mother

Trying to lie???

I've already told the truth....no intention of lying

Mail coming here does not constitute someone actually living here.....im just unfortunate that my husband cannot prove otherwise, other than a testimonial from landlord

Sorry, I was not trying to suggest you were going to lie.

I guess my point is, we are all trying to help, no one wants to see people end up in prison.

I think you have been naive in your dealings with your partner/hubby and with the council.
