Thankyou, I am just so worried, I wish I had believed my Girlfriend, and I had declared her in the first place, but I was so scared. I'm now panicking as it looks like Legal Aid may not be granted, so im worrying as I wil have represent myself, do you think if his happens, It will change the sentencing. Thankyou for the reply.

Hi. Thankyou. I have been in many violent relationships, one was an alcoholic, the others were either controlling or violent, the last one was the worst, he broke my ribs, smacked me around, strangled me, kicked me, controlled, mentally abused me. I went to a bbq and met a woman, we clicked and she managed to get me away from the relationship and we became romantically involved, I was claiming Housing Beneifit and JSA and I didn't declare her, purely cuz I was worried sick she would turn out like the rest and didn't want to go official until I knew, well she works as a Support Worker and I told her to tell her work where she was living (My address) which then obv went back, I didn't think to be honest, I'm going to Court for £9k odd (Just under £10k) I am terrified that I will go to Prison, I've been Googling up other peoples cases and I am getting so worked up. I should have declared her and I am stupid, I know I am, and I am also pleading Guilty, as what I did was wrong, but I am so worried I forgot to mention, that she was also my first Female Relationship so I was worried about that aswell

I was hoping for some reassurance really. I have Court on the 27th November for £9,000 Housing Benefit and Job seekers I believe. I do have a Solicitor and I'm going trough getting Legal Aid not sure I will be granted it so may have to represent myself and I honsestly don't know if I can. My Solicitor said she is 98% sure I won't go to Prison, but I am terrified. I have a 8 year old Son with ADHD and Tics and I myself have depression, ocd. I genuinly feel awful but, I finished my last relationship by violence and my other past relationships were all controlling and violent, then I met a woman who I really fell for, I was terrified that it would all go wrong, I was scared to declare her, just incase, I am suffering even more for doing so, which I understand. my main worry is will I go to Prison, I am so scared, and can't eat properly, all I keep thinking about is what if I'm not here for Xmas : ( sorry for the Essay, even though I've been told by the Solicitor, I'm still worried sick. Thankyou
