karenr31 posted a topic in Benefits and HMRC

Hello, can anyone advise please, my daughter is seperated from her partner and has recently got herself a private rent, the seperation is amicable as they have a son, she is claiming benefits for the first time as had always worked before her son was born. she is claiming housing benefit and has just had her first payment. she recd a letter to attend an interview at the jobcentre and she thought it was standard practice. she was asked if her circumstances had changed, if she was still permanently separated from her partner and if he spent time with the child. she told the truth, he sees him regularly and has him weekends and more when he is on holiday. she advised that they are permanently separated and was asked if she had any questions before being asked to sign a declarartion. Question , was this an investigation? she is worried sick that she is in trouble. she takes her son to his house and they are getting on well and maybe there is a chance they may even get back together. she has told me that she has stayed over a couple of times but has no intention of moving back at the moment as they get on better apart.he has not stayed at her house Is she allowed to do this? she doesnt think she has done anything wrong as she isnt living with him and they are just trying to be good parents and over time maybe things will work out. any advise would be greatly appreciated
