    He hasnt lived here for reasons that people on here dont need to no
    How convenient. If this was OK to claim benefits, many couples would do the same, especially when working abroad. Have numerous kids but claim you live at your parents when not abroad and you are 'only visiting' when you stay with your partner and mother of your children.

    Sorry OP, you don't want to be judged but it is frustrating to see people who use the system to maximise how much they get from it. Is the reason why you have babies together but not living together such that if you were not entitled to any benefits, you would still remain living separately?
