Benefits Wise Would I Be Better Off "Leaving Him"

[CarsonsVolunteer]

Currently living my mum with my partner and little cherub.

Things are obviously tough at the moment due to him being out of work. Would I be better off claiming that he has left us and going homeless in hope of getting a better council house. Then getting him to move in afterwards. To be honest I cant see any otyher way of getting out of our situation as living with my parents is not very healthy for our relationship.

You are asking for advice on benefit fraud?

What an apt day to post this.

OMG

Is it National Troll Day today, or something?

How would him leaving you affect your homelessness?
Does it put you in a better position if he's not with you then?

You call your child a little cherub. I got that far before I thought YABU

You sound super. I'll happily go to work everyday so you can make as much noise as you fancy in the bedroom.

I don't think you are going to get a positive response to your idea

[understatement]

I'm not asking for advice on fraud as you so nicely put it.

Im just asking if I would be better off for my childs sake of trying to get a house because at the moment we are cramped with my family and its not exactly luxury.

If i was to "leave" him I could get a house and then he could move in and our family unit/life would be better. Not exactly fraud if i'm looking to benefit my family in the long run.

Nevermind. Just seen it's the 'partner obsessed with politics' one.

Him leaving you won't help you get a council house.

Getting your mum to evict you will get you bumped up the ladder as you will become homeless.

yeah why not. Go to the council , claim you're homeless and get a flat.
Then move him in, claim to be a single mother and claim all benefits.
THEN see if he can get a cash in hand job.

That why people on benefits get a bad name

be a love and fuck off

Why don't you ask you dp to provide fir your "cherub"? What if everyone thought like you?

Paisly Pumpkin you'll know exactly why I want to get rid of for a bit then

Why not go and do something other than troll messageboards?

Like, oh, I dunno, a bit of gardening? Gardening is nice.
You should do that

Gardening.

Why would you have to 'leave him'? Can't you just say that your mum can no longer have you living there, therefore you are homeless as a family? Or just wait until you both get jobs then get your own family home together. Better stability for your little cherub, you don't really want to move into a hostel/b&b with her while you wait for a council house do you? But don't commit fraud!

Hang on a sec, dosen't everyone on ere get arsey whenever anyone suggests reporting benefit fraud ? T'is only a role reversal, can't ave it both ways

you could do my gardening if your mum doesn't have a garden.

you wont get a council house!

you'll get a b and b for a year or so,then a 2 bed high rise flat somewhere....if you're lucky!!!

cos it's bullshit Cheese. buuuuuuuuuuuulllssssshhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiit

good point AC :)
The OP is our fwiend, we can't pick on her

I know it's bullshit, am just pointing out the hypocrisy

"Not exactly fraud if i'm looking to benefit my family in the long run"

What a wonderful idea - must use that the next time I have to defend someone charged with fraud.

Your Honour, in my respectful submission this defendant should never have been charged with fraud as he gave the proceeds of the crime to his dear old mum, thus rendering him liable to take advantage of the long-established "benefit to family" defence. Ta-da! Release that man immediately!
