If you are no fixed abode you will likely have to sign on each working day. This could effect your friends benefits as his household income would increase, you would need to look into this more though. Why wouldn't you be contributing towards rent and bills when living with your friend?
I'm quite shocked that some people believe a person isn't committed to a relationship just because they don't want to live together after being together for 7 months, you do realise his partner has a child, decent parents actually wait until it is appropriate for their children for a partner to move in, others clearly don't think its an issue bringing from the childs point of view a complete stranger into the house on a permanent basis. Children need to get to know a new partner slowly, I would of thought most people would realise this.0 -
You'd be putting your friend's benefits at risk, making life inconvenient for him and his children and you're not going to contribute one penny to his household expenses? Some friend you are!
Do i look stupid or are you stupid ?
clearly your probably about 15 years old and don't have a clue !
of course i would contribute but do the dole need to know this ?
wow some people if they had brains they would be dangerous !!0 -

Hats off to you the best and most assured comment so far !
And you are 99% correct , the child has had to get used to her father not living with her , its hard on her , the child knows me and has attached herself to me very quickly but I'm not her dad and never will be and will not allow it as its just wrong as it will just confuse her at her early age.
Im just trying to come up with ways for the relationship to work as we really do love each other and we are so alike .
its not impossible , its just hard and trying to make it work by being near her is not a wrongful thing to do as some people think , some people must live boring lives or not got a partner to comment so negative comments .

Getting a job would be easier up there than what it is down here , and thus the reason why i haven't applied for jobs up there as what happens if i get an interview straight away and they want me to start straight away , its not impossible ! but it is 225 miles away !0
