    I think you should look for a more arms-length arrangement before the welfare officer will take your claim seriously.

    Kick your "friend" out and rent to someone else.

    so the welfare officer will look at us as a couple or something well guess that is the way it will be since i did have personal involvement with her anywho can anyone tell me how much i will get if this is the case
    i used this spreadsheet i found on this site to calculate it said 100 euro i just wanted to confirm it so i can stop worrying
    thanks guys

    i just thought i would let everyone no what happened to me in socal welfare

    i was in there today and my ex is considered my partner but we are assessed under the family means according to citizens information so this is how it works

    346 -60= 286
    *60%
    171

    312-171=141

    so i should get 141 they said lets hope socal says that is so to but she did call them and they told her that
    does all this make sense to anyone hope it also helps people
