Thank you all for your replies, i guess if we have nothing to hide not going or giving "No comment" answers wont do us any favours, just keep the answers simple, as said before i am nervous of notes in previous threads that say they can be very manipulative with their questioning!! I can prove all of my bills etc are at my house, i can prove my illness and i can prove i didn't go back to work until August this year, so if it is my car at her house then that's easily answered aswell. They have also not stopped her benefits, surely if they were confident of any fraud would they keep it quiet for almost a year and still pay her?

Ok thank you for that

Hi I am a newbie and a bit confused. My GF and I both received letters today saying that we have to go for an Interview under caution as they believe that i am living at her address and she is claiming benefits ( i am not and never have). Over the past 12 months we have had a particularly torrid time, let me explain briefly. 1. In November last year i was taken seriously ill and had to have an emergency heart bypass at 39 years old. When i was discharged from Hospital i needed care and support and my GF gave me that. I stayed with her as i wasn't allowed to live at my house as i would have been on my own. I couldn't drive for a long time due the chest healing so my car was left outside her house. She is on the insurance so can use it whenever she wants. 2. In March she gave birth to our baby, the pregnancy wasn't planned and was a massive shock but we decided to keep it. On her first child she had major post natal depression and with my illness this birth was no exception, no sleep, very low moods and with 2 sons (not mine) to look after times were very tough. I have helped out as best i could and as i wasn't working it seemed the best solution. Again my car was outside the house. 3. I went back to work in August this year and then my GF father was diagnosed with terminal cancer, so needless to say she wanted to be there for him, so again the children needed caring for. When she was at her dads i stayed to care for the children, as her ex husband wouldn't help! Then today we both get these letters, i have read on here today that you don't HAVE to go but as we have done nothing wrong ,in our eyes, why shouldn't we? I am worried though that they will tie us up by twisting what we say! I have my own house, with a lodger renting a room, all my bills are at my house, my car, insurance, credit cards, bank accounts everything. Should i go to this interview when i am not the one claiming benefits or will that just antagonise them even more if i don't? I am really worried, angry and irritated obviously someone has reported her but they knew my name so it must be some one who knows me aswell. On my letter it states that they want me to answer some questions but on my GFs letter it mentions evidence that they have, would they have really set up surveillance? And if so surely the reasons that i just given are understandable? Sorry to spout on but i needed to vent Any help or advice would be gratefully received. Thank you in advance
