    icon1.gifHaving sex with someone whose on benefit I have a lodger who is on benefit and occasionally we have had sex, however over time we have gradually fallen for each other and now want to declare our relationship. As a higher rate tax payer I know that he will not be entitled to benefit anymore.

    What we want to know,is that when we declare our relationship will we be accused of being in a relationship previously (we have been living together for a year) and hence have been committing benefit ? How do we prove we wern't previously in a relationship ?

    Since this thread was a source of amusement for so many at the time I thought I would update it. We declared our relationship to the benefits people and they just ignored us. After about 3 months of sending letter/emails they finally contacted to collect details. i.e. how long we been living together, how long we'd been in a relationship etc.

    By this point we were very spooked as they had not stopped our benefits for 3 months and we were definetly in a relationship for that time. Then recieved a letter for something else, which said if we didn't return it in 14 days our benefit would be stopped. Fearing prying into the previous nature of our relationship and just wanting the benefit payments to stop, we failed to return the form and the benefit payments were duly stopped.

    Without the stress and our new found happiness, we are now like a pair of bunny rabbits.

    You keep at them. They're trying to bring you down to their level, don't let them do it.

    Since this thread started I've started taking records each day on a house I have put an offer in on.

    Zoopla is increasing its value every day...... it's going up by about £10 every day.

    So the answer to the original question seems to be: all day, every day.....

    If it keeps going up that much it'll only be 8 years before it's worth what I've offered! :)

    So it's when we had sex and not started a relationship that counts ? Will we be able to claim his benefit for the days we don't have sex ?

    It only counts as a relationship if it's good sex.
    You need to fill out an orgasm diary, and submit it, after getting it signed by a medical professional.
