My sons ex partner (mother of his child) has moved from her property with the child, which she claimed hb on, into her new b/f's mums house. She is claiming hb is this legal? Is it legal if her current b/f lives in the same home with his mum?

Depends if she is claiming to be a single parent and hasn't informed the relevant departments about her move.:heart2: Newborn Thread Member :heart2:

If its benefit fraud, then I guess it needs to be addressed!
As for more information, my son lives with myself his father and younger sister, he is now going to be on JSA after being at university, and has his daughter 50/50 shared care, but gets no benefits whatsoever in respect of his daughter, but still needs to provide financially for her.0 -
It's certainly benefit fraud if that is indeed what she is doing.
How do YOU that she hasnt informed the HBO and making a joint claimmake the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0 -

Looks like he'll have to find a job then!
Perhaps if she is commiting benefit fraud, it's to pay for things for a her child as the childs father is unable to do so?Per Mare Per Terram0 -

I have not said she is commiting benefit fraud, I was asking for information.
From the day the child was born, the father has supported his child 50.50 with the mother, and has had a p/t job to help support himself and child. There is no extra hours available. It is help we are looking for and useful info. Got an appointment with CAB and maybe go to his solicitor. But atm he has only just finished uni, last friday and looking for a full time job, but so are the other jobless people out there.0 -

You didn't say it, it was implied.
Is this some sort of miracle family? How on earth is the father supporting this child 50/50 on part time wages? I think both you, and the father need a bit of a rain check, and get yourself back in the real world.Per Mare Per Terram0 -

benefit fraud cant be condoned even if the father isnt paying his way. The state supplies enough benefits for a single mother to live on as it is without defrauding the system for more.Be Alert..........Britain needs lerts.0 -

I think as the father is having his child 50% of the time the mother is getting wuite a good deal and the father is also paying his way by having the child 50% of the time.
Plus the mother will be receiving all the child related benefits which should more than cover her expenses for the child considering she only has her half the time.
That aside there is no need for benefit fraud. OP I would keep out of it unless I knew for a fact that they have not updated HB, they would have had to tell them at least about the change of address which would have them prompted a new tenancy agreement.Credit Card: £796 Left/£900 October 2011 :eek:Store Card: £100 October 2011

If the person concerned is living in the home of her partner's parent then they would be considered living with a close relative and so Housing Benefit would be refused under Regulation 9 of HB regs 2006I currently manage a Housing Benefit service and have been working in Housing / council tax benefit (as was) since 2001.
