In a relationship but not living together

FBaby

Well done, never heard of councils so quick to come back and provide such clear reassuring feedback on the phone from information they only received on the phone, but at least now you can rest assured...

O/p - where did he live before he joined the army? I can't see the answer to my question? It's very relevant

Why is it relevant ?
Are you assuming he has only just joined up ? If so where did you get that idea from ?

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.

I'm glad you did - There was an awful lot of DM reader assumptions and just plain wrong info given out on this thread by the usual suspects.

Not assuming anything. I am asking if they lived together prior to him joining the army as that may be viewed his usual address. The kind of factor that my 24 years working in benefits tells me as relevant.

As I have merely asked a question and made no further observations I would suggest that it's not me jumping to assumptions.
