First off I am not advocating or encouraging benefit theft, she said she has told them they are living seperately and as friends and he has a girlfriend, when looking to see if people live as a couple they look at washing/shopping. Entirely innocently they may be doing washing/shopping together but could be refused HB because of this.

Second of all do you know my circumstances? Thought not, maybe best to keep it shut when you have no idea what you're talking about, not everyone receiving LHA/HB is doing so because they don't work! I can't believe you would be so rude, maybe you should do something constructive with your life rather than insult people when they have done nothing wrong.

if you believe any of the story you need your head testing, it is a fraud in the making and tidying up before the hb folk come visiting is just a waste of time as any experienced fraud investigator will see through it straight away.
OP why didnt you get your own place if you are not with your partner anymore?

Well if someone is trying to commit fraud then that is there risk since they will end up getting caught. I would rather treat someone with repect as if they are telling the truth just incase. You can never be sure so best not to make assumtions like some.

If it is fraud and you are right doesn't mean I need my head testing just means that I don't act suspicious towards everyone that may be in need of genuine advice. As you say if it is a HB officer will be able to tell so no worries. :think:
