Hi I'm hoping someone can advise me the best way to go about this.

Dec 11 me and my husband separated and I rang and change my joint claim to a single claim. That went through very smoothly. Husband had been living from sofa to sofa an worked away with work all week in a hotel we kept our joint account as we have a dmp set up an it was agreed we didn't want to mess that up. His wages were still paid in that account it was all very amicable my rent and bills were all paid etc this was effectively his maintainer for the children . I renewed my side of the claim in time and explained the situation to them. I advised him that he had to rin them
Also to give them him p60 details he done this and also gave them
Him mothers adress as I didn't want his post for anything other than our debt coming here. He's still awaiting his final award notice to we have been overpaid or anything for That time.

The past few weeks things have changed we have become very close again and are even considering givin it another go and him moving back in. I obviously know as soon as he does live back in I have to change my single to a joint that isn't a problem I will do that straight away. I'm just concerned that they may question my single claim I made for the 7-8 months we were apart ?

Am I overthjming this ? And how should I go about it. My son also starts school in sept so I have to ringtone change my childcare arrangements also?
