I'm sorry but it is unclear what you are asking as your sentences run on.
You admitted to receiving payments of HB when your partner was sleeping over and payments were stopped?
You received backdated payments from August? after the date he was staying - presumably they believed his staying was temporary?
You have since got pregnant - they are I guess assuming this temporary staying has either become permanent or they suspect it has been ongoing and now want to clarify things - maybe you have continued to make a claim for a single person whilst living with someone else or there is something else they want to know.
Could the number be a reference number rather than your NI number - have a look on your original paperwork - alternatively telephone them and ask them to give you an outline of why they want to see you0
