So here is my story---
I was receiving the casual job seekers and did not tell them we were living together so I could be independent- .
so I reapplied and told them we had broken up and he had moved out.
My best friend has a baby and is claiming while living with her partner but they get back to education and another friend has been living with her boyf for 6 years (hes in fulltime employment and she isnt but gets full dole) and just wondering how are they not being means assessed against their partners?Maybe they made fraudulent claims and if so I hope someone reports them to SW
parents ended up buying me a very cheap house (ex bank) that I now live in so I could bring baby up comfortably without rent. has offered to pay my parents half the amount for the house so that he can "provide for his child" and move in with usVery generous offer for an ex partner to make but if he wants to provide for his child he can pay maintenance to you without the need to move in. That way you keep your independence you are so keen to hang on to.
I really need to maintain my independence until i can get back teaching and sign off-So you only want to be "independent" while your claiming social welfare in which case you would get more benefits and when you get back teaching it wont matter if you're "independent" or not because you will get paid the same.
I have no advice on how to get more social welfare, sorry meant how to keep your "independence" while living with your partner, sorry meant your "great friend".
You did not tell them so you could get more money. You made a fraudulent claim.
Again you made a fraudulent claim.

Must be lonely up there, on your oh-so-high horse...!
This girl's story highlights a fundamental problem with our social welfare system - it doesn't acknowledge the realities of modern life in the 21st century.
Not every couple who live together actually "cohabit" within the spirit of the SW rules - i.e. they aren't financially dependent on each other, and they have made only a limited commitment to each other (living together nowadays generally being a precursor to bigger commitments) - so the loss by one of their job and the refusal of income support by the State will probably lead to the end of their relationship due to the fact that they were not actually at a point where one/both parties were willing to financially support each other.
Maybe people should take co-habitting more seriously so. I'm with Ironman on this one. It doesn't make a difference what the fundamental problem with our welfare system is - its still a fraudulent claim.

And just to be clear, I never condoned a fraudulent claim, but I think the rules of the system are stupid and don't recognise modern reality.I'm with Ironman on this one. It doesn't make a difference what the fundamental problem with our welfare system is - its still a fraudulent claim.
SW Guidelines are quite clear, cohabitation involves 2 adults living together in a committed and intimate relationship.
If you are no longer in such a relationship with this man, I think you would be nuts to allow him purchase half the house, get out of paying maintenance and move him in with you. That's a heap of trouble there.
... my parents ended up buying me a very cheap house (ex bank) that I now live in so I could bring baby up comfortably without rent. He decided he wants to help me raise the baby and has offered to pay my parents half the amount for the house so that he can "provide for his child" and move in with us. This would be fine ...
