Legally I don't think so.
Really, how many true single moms out there wish they had an adequate place? Food and clothes for children? They truely need the help, and then other people take advantage of anything at risk of getting caught. One person can ruin it for everyone in a class. Think about, where would you be if you didn't have your partner, then think again.
Raising kids isn't easy even for us married folk either. The more we try the harder it gets.

No not legally. To claim a single parent pension you cannot be in a defacto relationship and that is what the government sees it as when you are living together. You must be living alone and raising your child alone.

no, not legally anyway. if you live with your partner they classify it as "living with someone as if you were married". dont take the risk, the penalty will be much worse if you get caught, than maybe losing a few pounds on a joint claim.

I don't think you can because my sister tried this and they stopped her benefits because her partner was working go to your local advice centre and enquire good luck :)
