and rather than link to guidance on living together it links to Express article that talks about benefit swindlers, as pointed out by @AlanMarkeyCov

no doubt cue more decisions saying that someone is LTAHAW with someone living elsewhere…..

I predict that this will be the next (or soon-ish anyway) Big Thing with Universal Credit.

As UC takes over bit by bit, we will have the same poorly-understood rules, the same poorly thought-through decisions, the same people going without money while an appeal drags on until it is chucked out for lack of evidence- etc etc etc.

Most of my predictions prove to be completely wrong. Let’s hope this one is too.
