Accidental Fraud?

Haylibo there has NEVER been a rule - it is something which has come about from word of mouth, but there has never been a rule which categorically states the number of nights a boyfriend/girlfriend can stay over without it affecting benefits. If it were to be investigated, a great deal of questions would be asked and then a decision would be made as to whether you were living together as husband and wife.

To be perfectly honest, he will be moving in sometime around June. He can't get out of the rent contract for his flat until then. 4-5 nights is the maximum. Last week he stayed 3 nights, some weeks he doesn't stay at all! I think probably 3 nights is the average for him actually staying all evening and sleeping over, but he does visit pretty much every day. Does anyone know where I would need to write to / call to advise them of the situation to get a definite answer, as you ahve suggested?
Many thanks for all your input - it's all a bit complicated! It would help if they had a general guideline about this, as i'm sure it is something that comes up quite a lot. Obviously they would need to state that each circumstance is judged on it's own merits, but it would be useful to have a rough idea what the rules are!!
