    what more do you need?

    I don't need anything, Andrew. I've already said that you should fill yer boots.

    At the end of the day, you're an adult. You make adult decisions and you face the adult consequences. The choice, as always, is yours. If nothing else, your "claim" might give them a laugh at the DWP offices.

    Your posts make no sense at all! You stated that she is currently not contributing at all towards the mortgage or council tax, that is living as husband and wife, but somehow, you seem convinced that if you were to tell that you should separate, she would be happy not only to stay living with you (when clearly she has the financial means to move out) AND pay you a nominal rent. Ha ha, is your wife really that brainless???

    This suggestion is so farfetched, it is obvious you have no intentions to really separate!
