When social welfare officers visit unannounced are they allowed to search your home without your permission?

Not necessarily - there are numerous legitimate reasons not to let strangers into your home.If you don't give permission then surely you are indicating that you have something to hide?

I know people claiming lone parents allowance are always on the watch out for inspectors in case they spot the partner living with them.
I'm sure you could have asked them why they were visiting but ultimately it's no great mystery:The inspector called around my place when we claimed Rent Allowance, I figured it was to verify the size of the apartment etc. etc.
The CWO usually visits you to confirm your circumstances.
Would you like to rephrase that sean.c?
No, I wouldn't.
"I know people" isn't a mass generalisation.
If I had said ""everyone on Lone Parents..." or "Everyone on Welfare", then I could be accused of generalising. But I didn't. I said, "I know people", because I do know people who are illegally claiming. It's just a fact, not an opinion.
