please report. Although only if you have the energy. If not simply set fire to the energy and let the universe sort it out. Whatever decision you both make should be from your heart not busybody interfering energy.
Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!5 -
Yes, @Watty1 is as ever right. I hope my comment isn't as busybody as the one that provoked it. The ironymeter might just have caught fire. Love Humdinger xx

So sorry to hear you have both had to endure this on top of everything else you are both going through. A few weeks before my OH died, he needed the use of a hoist at home. Council employee tried to insist I should spend a whole day away doing a H&S course in its use. I had to fight really hard to insist it was cruel to 'make' me spend a whole day away of the few we had left together. In the end they relented [and let me read the instruction manual] but it was a fight I could have done without at that point. Sending gentle hugs x

Oh rt I agree with other posters - you and OH do not need this. Fingers crossed that reporting said individual is enough to sort it all out, once and for all, and you both can get back to concentrating on each other. This is not the time for intruding distractions.

@rtandon27 - if you want to submit a subject access request, please bear in mind that the referral will probably be considered to be OH's personal data. So you might need to send two requests, ID etc. take care, last thing you need right now.

Late to this but I am also appalled! The ignorance and arrogance that individual displayed is just horrendous and I am so very sorry (and angry) that it put Mr RT under pressure to change his choices 😠 …
Sending huge hugs and a light veil of shimmery sparkle for you to spread over the kitchen floor! 😉 x
