Hi bit of a strange question. I was a single parent and claiming single parent tax credit working full time - now with new partner and we are building a house - I am living at home while waiting for it to be built - not ideal situation anyway pregnant again and filling out maternity benefit and they want to know am i single, married, co habiting - obviously at the moment i would think i should put down single - then further on it asks about partner's income details - I'm really unsure what to put down on the form. Could someone help me please - obviously don't want to mislead anyone but unsure what to do. For the last couple of months while working and living apart i have been claiming single parent tax credit. Any ideas on how to fill out form?
 
The amount of maternity benefit you get isn't affected by any other household income, as it's PRSI and employment based.

The information is asked on most SW forms to keep their records up to date and accurate.

As you're not actually living with your partner yet, then technically you are single and his income isn't relavant in this situation.
