    My council calls it a single persons discount and that's how I'll treat it. http://www.eaststaffsbc.gov.uk/docs/Council%20Forms/Cancellation%20of%20Single%20Person%20Discount.pdf

    And anyway the lodger is on benefits and the OP could have applied for a rebate anyway. The council is getting no more or less money.

    You can treat it however you please. What matters is how it is defined in law. The law regards it as a discount for single occupancy, not for being single in terms of relationship status.

    In December you stated in a thread that your 'partner' had MS and that you were renting a flat!

    It's OK to shag them as long as they're not actually signing on at the time,
    it makes the signature difficult to read.

    I am nearly 37 weeks pregnant. This made me laugh so hard I think I may have triggered labour :rotfl::T
    I'm not a "SINGLE" mum, I'm a "DOUBLE" mum!:D

    Not sure why people are finding this funny, are tax payers banned from having sex with people on benefit ?

    Yes, the "Relations between payers of tax and recipients of benefits Act 1963"
    re. CT we have declared that we live as LL & Lodger and have been granted the discount. So I'm not sure where people are getting the idea from we ae not entitled to it ?

    What grounds are you entitled to it on? You can't get second adult rebate if he pays you rent.

    Don't put me off, I'm in the middle of filling in a retrospective claim and it's not straightforward on account of it's enough cash for a world cruise and a brand new Roller :D And that's only the first five years :rotfl:
