poppet2 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 No we don't but like to stay overnight but in been told we can't or we get done as its clast as fraud... This happened to a couple I knew, however, one was working & the other on housing & CT benefit. They were warned this was fraud as staying over night as partners constituted living together, no matter how many nights. I wonder if it would have been different if the partner who worked had a night job and therefore only stayed during the day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melthebell Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 If you are both on JSA it shouldn't make any difference. Only one of you can claim housing & council tax benefit if you live together because you are both unemployed and on JSA. If one of you start work, you will have to notify them of your change of circumstances so they can re-calculate you and your partner's housing benefits, if any. with the dole if you live there or stay almost every night its classed as living together and you need to decalare it.

my eyes only Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 If your partner is claiming both housing and council tax credit you are not allowed to stay there after a certain time of night, this is because it could be seen as you sleeping there, a good number of years ago the ruling changed because couples thought it was ok to have 2 houses both on benefits and stay at each others houses several nights a week. If his neighbours don't care apart from you mentioning it here who is going to know??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
