Funny, I only went to a course on Living together this week!!
A council won't consider you a couple if you aren't a couple. However, if you aren't a couple and are both out of work, you may be worse off under LHA than if you are?I currently manage a Housing Benefit service and have been working in Housing / council tax benefit (as was) since 2001.
