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.

I'm 99% sure that this is a troll, but if not, Get.A.F*.Job.

All this popcorn talk is making my hungry.

OP, if you want to move out, get a job, save up and rent somewhere. It's not hard, there are loads of private rents, and you can still get HB and CTB if on a low income.

What Sprinkledust said (re: B&B then eventually a 2 bed in a highrise somewhere if you're lucky...although by then your child could be of the age where you're required to sign on anyway).

No him leaving would leave you worse off wrt gettinga council house. You will be less over crowded and still not homeless.

Try and bear in mond that some families are homeless and you would pushing them further down the list if you were to claim you were single and homeless if you are not.

Suck my baws

Fucking hell woman.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha at you thinking you will automatically get a council place especially a house just by being a single mum, troll or not.

explain again, how leaving your partner - gets you a council house?

as far as i was aware, whether you had a partner or not doesn';t matter.

but i say GO FOR IT, they will put you in a B&B for months. knock yourself out love.

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

Yes, yes you are

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.

You put the f-ing quotation marks in yourself, you know what you're doing. It is fraud. End of.

I'll bet you a cadbury's caramel the OP never returns

OP = Fuckwit

Carsons how about you and your other half do something unique. Use your brain (assuming you have one) and get a job.

Pop off now.

YANBU

What a great idea.

Come back and let us know how it goes so we can shop congratulate you.

GET A JOB YOU SCROUNGING FUCKER>

fuck off op, there are people who are genuinely scared about their future here.

Why are people so horrible, all I want to do is make sure my partner, my child and I can be together in a nice home together, now whether this is a house, flat, bungalow or tent I don't care. All I want to di is be with them both in our own home not cadging of friends or family. He can't find work I'm struggling myself but find it worthwhile doing voluntary work in my local charity shop yet we are left behind. So don't tell me why don't I use my head because that's exactly what I'm doing.

oh god this is so utterly ridiculous it's actually very funny.

I fail to see what's funny about the situation Mamotta? Enlighten me?

well - what everyone else said - the fact that you "leaving" him won't get you a council house, and even if your mum kicks you out it'll be b&B or "hostel" for xxxx about of time, and then if you're "lucky" you'll get a skanky 14th floor flat.

"So don't tell me why don't I use my head because that's exactly what I'm doing."

Because its fucking fraud.

Camping shops have sales on now, buy a tent since we're talking rubbish anyway.

If, and I sincerely hope not, you're serious - then I'm sorry to say it to your (virtual) face, but you're a bit thick, unrealistic and highly offensive to people who actually do need accommodation. Get real and grow up. And for heaven's sake, don't call your child a cherub. Deary me.

well was thinking a slightly stronger description that you put MSL

but if you are serious - and you're overcrowded at your mum's house (proper over crowded not just "oh it's not our own space kind of thing) why not contact the housing options team at your local council. If you're eligble I'm sure they'd be delighted to help you find a private rental to move into.
