SUPPLIED One woman said she ended up $500 a week worse off when she entered a new relationship. If he flats in a flat with his girlfriend or is considered in a relationship, his 18-year-old girlfriend is expected to financially support him, as he will lose the benefit he gets for his illness. He has been honest and now receives no benefit because both he and his girlfriend board with me. Very scary as I had no idea if the relationship would work out with him fulltime. They had been informed that I was in a marriage-like relationship and that I was committing a benefit fraud.
