Compliance interview

Hi,

I am looking for advice from people who have been in a similar situation I'm currently in..

My Situation is I was called into a meeting at the job centre with a compliance officer today as a malicious allegation had been made that I am living with a partner whilst claiming job seekers, I denied this allegation as it is not true.

I am currently pregnant and over Christmas my partner and I had been discussing moving in together and coming off the benefits which we finally decided to do but not until he has finished paying off the finance on his car, which he now has done.

He visits daily and stays once sometimes twice a week which I have told the job centre about and I was truthful about my relationship with him but I'm wondering how they will take it if I notify them that within the next week or two that his officially moved in and I'm stopping my benefits. Will they continue to investigate me and try call me back under caution thinking that I have only done it to avoid any further action or will they have to drop the whole case and close investigation they were doing on me and leave me alone if I'm not on the benefits anymore.



I'm wanting to do the right thing and the honest way but this has put a spanner in the works and now I'm worried that which ever way I go I'm going to look like I'm lying!
