    The only thing I can think of is your Community Welfare Officer, but I have no idea what you would apply for or what your chances of success are. Best ring them to have a chat, see if you need an appointment etc.

    If you are paying rent independently of your gf, should you not be treated and claim as a single person?

    i got this off the SW appeals office today

    You should apply to your local Community Welfare Officer for
    Supplementary Welfare Allowance pending your appeal. Please note
    however that Supplementary Welfare Allowance is a means tested
    payment.

    If your parents are earning then you will end up in the same dilema.

    No, you just have to live independently from your girlfriend.

    Seriously, if you're gonna live like a married couple, then you're going to be treated like one. If you don't want to be treated like one, then don't behave like one.
