But son isn't resident there! They MAY think he is - which is a whole world away from the actual truth of the matter.

The problem would be with the fact that the son is not declaring where he is actually living.

If the household where he is living is declared as a single one, then that person would be comitting benefit fraud which in turn would implicate the father.

Whilst it is clear that the father has done nothing wrong, I would assume he could do without the hassel of any potential investigations.

Lots of young couples live together but the dad keeps his address as his parents, particularly if they have just had a young baby.

Which i also think is the case.

A difficult one, especially where his son is involved. No father would ever want to be responsible for the potential prosecution of his own flesh & blood.

just to update you all

my friends dad has managed to get hold of his son and told him how this could affect him by still using his address and said that he will return all letters as not known ,
son says ,will tell them when he signs on on fri :cool:
