    DMG - sorry should have made myself clear- he is liable as long as he is there - if he leaves he is no longer involved

    He is liable for the nine years that he has lived there. Though he will not be liable for what she chooses to do in the future, his liability for the past will not disappear because he chooses to move out!

    No, you said that he is liable as long as he is there, and in your earlier post you said that he was not an accessory.

    All because he is no longer involved, it does not make the past go away.

    OP, I am not sure what you want anybody to say to you. You need to take professional legal advice. In this situation CAB advice will not be sufficient. You have been involved in criminal activity, and you need to know how to mitigate your situation as best as possible.

    I know some other people might think keep quiet and enjoy the money. But I cannot.

    Can I ask why now, after 9 years No name, do you feel that you cannot put up with this situation any more?

    What has changed recently to make you feel as you do?

    Ok, um...I am so sorry if anyone takes offence to this.

    Is your OH actually incapacitated? If not, then on what grounds is she claiming incapacity? Is it mental health?

    If it is mental health (I say that because if the OPs OH was called to a medical for physical reasons then I assume they would have been asked to do physical tasks) then I really don't think it's fair on those who are unable to work because of any illness/disability they have, and then someone who can work just says they have mental health problems and lies and gets benefit.
    I have BPD, among other mental health issues, and I would love to be able to work and I'm trying my hardest to get better so I can but I know it's a long road. I really think your OH claiming incapacity isn't fair on all of those who would love to work but can't, but your OH can work but can't be bothered.

    Sorry if that offended anyone.

    I know I'm not sure what I want you all to say either. I think I just needed to get it off my chest...

    Try to find a solicitor who offers a free first consultation, by recommendation if possible. It may be worth calling them before the appointment, as benefit fraud is quite a specialised area.

    With regard to living alone with your health condition, will you be any worse off than you are now? Seems like you have to do everything for yourself at the mo, so maybe it will actually be easier without the stress of the situation?
