In a relationship but not living together

Db123, you will very quickly discover that there are a number of judgemental trolls around on the site. Simply best to ignore them.

That's incredibly unfair to posters that hold a different view/opinion to your own.

I hope you didn't mean me? I'm asking simply to establish if they usually live together. It's establishing the facts, not trolling.

Indeed. And my opinion is mirrored by those who make the decisions.


Yours are mirrored by people id rather not be associated with.

Good, speak to them tomorrow otherwise you could find yourself paying back the money if they don't agree his main residence is on camp.Many people don't understand that living on camp is a 'single' soliders main home as already mentioned they pay CILOT, they are registered there on the electrol roll and all business is conducted from that address...Your boyfriend doesn't live with you, he visits you occasionally but then goes home.

I think the point some of us are trying to make is that it isn't always the case.

Soldiers who are married even though they live on base and go home one a month are, for council tax and benefit purposes, treated as living at their partner's home.

I have seen two cases where DWP also decided that a soldier and his partner (not married) were living together as husband and wife.

A lot of weight in those cases was placed on the frequency of the visits home and how the relationship was viewed from outside. So it could be he only visits monthly because of the distance (so the same as married unaccompanied soldiers)

For tax credits there is no requirement that the couple live in the same household (as there is for other benefits) - so you need to look at other factors.

The OP can speak the relevant agencies, give them the facts (that they are in a relationship but that he lives on camp and only comes x times amonth) and see what they say

If they are married and living apart then they are usually on the mortgage or tenancy agreement of the family home, they will financially linked in other ways to that property as well,my husband spent his final 2 years in Germany after myself and our kids came back but all his bills where sent to our home and he was paying the mortgage.

The op hasn't given any indication of her boyfriend having any links to her home, I'm also assuming that's why tax credits were allowed.

Sorry dippy, absolutely not aimed at you and apologies that it could look that way as my post immediately followed yours.

You need to keep your opinions to yourself matey. All you appear to do is increase your post count, and upset other posters.

Spoke to the council this morning, was passed on to 2 different people before being told someone would ring back as they didn't actually know.
Got the call back about an hour ago and was told I've done nothing wrong. Since we're not married, he has his own accommodation and is paying rent and council tax elsewhere, he doesn't contribute to the running of my household and he doesn't live here, all which can be proven. Legally I haven't claimed a penny I'm not entitled to.
Just thought I'd update for future reference.
