Ok so I have saw a lot of these posts lately so I'm sorry if you're sick of them but...
I have a friend who lives with her son, she claims benefits as a single parent and lives in a HA house. She has tried to get a job but no luck as of yet.
She has a partner (her sons father). He, however, doesn't live with her and lives with a family member instead. He was working until about a year ago when he was made redundant so now claims JSA. As far as I can see, it's also trying very hard for a job. He doesn't support his son financially as he receives little money.
They see each other everyday, spend a lot of time together etc.
Is she committing benefit fraud or not? She is claiming as a single parent though technically she isn't, but financially she is if that makes sense?
