Hi
He needs to tell them that you are his GF but you live 50 miles away and are at university there.
He should not have loads of proof of all this, as you get to the point where the fact he has so much of your stuff to prove he is not living with you that you appear to be a couple.
Did you live together over the summer at all?
No we didn't. I stayed for 5 days when he was ill after his fit because he was not physically capable of looking after himself. I wouldn't leave him then.0 -

he doesn't have this proof on him i have it if we need to produce it. Is it worth me makign copies of things just in case?
Like i said in terms of my stuff he has a change of clothes and some toiliteries. Oh and a little bit of my food because I am a special diet from the doctors which i have to follow so i didnt think i fair he have to buy that stuff.0 -
So the person who reported him must have known that he is on benefits? Is it a council flat out of interest?
Either way, it will all be fine as you dont live there! simple.0 -
The truth will out, I think it has, and I for one believe you. Stick with it.
Some malicious turds about but only provoked by way tooooo many benefit spongers.
;);) I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)
Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed0 -

I was supposed to be going through Friday to see him for the weekend and now im worried about going
It's ruined my weekend as I haven't seen him for 2 weeks and wanted the weekend with him
As you're studying and he's unemployed, can't he come and spend the weekend with you? Surely this would solve a lot of problems.0 -
Is this a new report from the one you posted a couple of months ago or are they pursuing in greater detail?0

I had De Ja Vu to DF, the posts are almost identical so our reassurances cant have been listened to, can they?0 -
What exactly is your boyfriend doing to resolve this as this has been going on for months now, you are in tears and appear to be running around gathering up evidence of your separate addresses? He's the claimant so what is he doing to sort this out? He's not working at the moment so has plenty of time to understand his rights, prepare his defence, visit the Citizens Advice Bureau or local welfare advice centre.
Ultimately, it's up to the DWP to prove he's breaching the terms of his means tested benefits - is your boyfriend dealing with this to get them to put up or shut up?
You say he's been reported but what action is being taken against him specifically by the authorities, if anything?0 -
@Daisyflower - It's a new report. we thought everything had been resolved but it appears this person has made another one!
@Devildus - It's a council area so the majority of people who live in the area are on benefits.
@Oldernotwiser - Not meaning to be rude but why should he have to come here all the time? Shouldn't I be allowed to get away from my home. In honesty it makes things difficult sometimes him being here for personal reasons as I have a housemate. When we're at his place its much more private. He also has a dog which he has to look after so he can't always find someone to watch the dog.
@sunnyone - We were reassured but then panicked again as it seems things have arisen again despite the original complaints.
@Jowo - He is without internet or a working phone at the moment which is why I am doing my bit to help him out. He's had a visit from authorities and has another one somepoint (can't remember when, dates in my diary). He has also had an official warning letter. He's been in touch with the DWP to tell them to get lost (politely).
He is also gathering evidecne against the malicious complainant as she is stalking him and making his life pretty miserable.
In terms of understanding his rights, my boyfriend struggles with reading and writing as he had some issues at school which meant he never learnt properly. He also struggles with some understanding stuff. Luckily his friends help him out too when I can't be there. I am only gathering evidence of my addresses etc so if we need it then they can have it.
Really I just want them to leave us alone to get on with our relationship! We're a new couple trying to get to grips with a long term relationship.0
