Getting Married and Keeping a Council House

I'll add this to the possible scenarios above:If it were possible, I might also want to make sure that Freda is aware of Dad's plans and expectations. She might be as ignorant as he is of how means-tested benefits work after marriage. Or she may be blithely assuming that Dad will start picking up all the bills, even if she retains her council tenancy, or she may be completely ignorant of his idea that she stays put and just visits for half the week. Her plans may be quite different!
the OP's Dad's new girlfriend may be totally oblivious of any idea of marriage at all. It could all be a figment of his imagination.
There's nothing in the original post to suggest the OP has spoken to this lady, it's all what the OP's Dad has said.0
