Someone has made an allegation to DWP that I'm living with someone. Must be malicious as there's just me and snooz living at home with visits from mum, so not as if anyone could have got the wrong end of the stick even.
i actually laughed when I spoke to a lady at DWP office when she told me why I'd received a letter to attend an interview, I said sorry I laughed but you should see my life! She said how old is your son, could anyone think you have a toyboy? She did say that 60% of allegations are false.
has anyone been through this kind of thing? I'm guessing it's just a formality as the lady said I just needed to come in and sign a statement.
my brain is whirring though trying to think who could have done this, I don't think I've cheesed anyone off!
i pretty sure if I had a man living with me there'd be less jobs needing doing around the house.......

Nearly a year ago.....
Was also thinking when ex and wife stayed here in August?
Would have thought that was all too far back?
Doesn't add up that someone could be genuinely mistaken, both visits were less than two weeks each and it someone who knows me surely?

Don't think he'd do that tbh. He knows I've just lost my car etc.... We have nothing contentious going on right now. Not his style.

Having asked someone who used to work in this area, their view is a random selection are 'chosen' every now and then to have to prove their circumstances.
Apparently they catch so many people out (who then tell the truth because they think they have been 'caught').
Shocking!
But it may well mean that no one has given incorrect information about you, just you are one of the unlucky ones who now have extra stress!

Just what you need - not!
Leo's reply is interesting - hope you can just accept that is how it happened and stop worrying about who has gone behind your back - it's not worth the effort.

I'm not worrying really as I know it's untrue.
Are you saying Leo that DWP have deliberately created an allegation without someone actually reporting me? When I rang I said I'm assuming this is because I've just lost my dla and that might affect other benefits and she said no, someone has made an allegation against you.
If the DWP are actually creating false allegations of this nature then that's appalling and needs investigating, surely? But thank you for checking.
I've spent a bit of time trying to figure out who would or could do this and it's awful being suspicious. A lady who lives at the end of my road has mental health issues and has often reported people for all sorts of things if she's perceived they've done something to her, but I've always got on OK with her and she's very fond of snooz. She's probably totally innocent but this sort of thing plays on your mind.
As always.....there is wine!!! Xx

Sorry to hear this Sooz.Not a nice feeling to think someone could be so nasty.Hope all is sorted out quickly for you and they review DLA situation.
Someone reported me for not deserving dla,irony being that despite having debilitating rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia,I have never ever applied for it but they still contacted me,probably on a fishing expedition! I have strong suspicions who it was,a so called new acquaintance rather than friend who turned up whilst I had Bert's dla application on laptop screen, and thought it was about me. She always dropped hints about me not working,lady of leisure, I wish. It was so upsetting as we are financially strapped since I had to give up work due to Bert's complex needs,and I have desperately been trying to find a job to fit in with all the appointments we both have. Take care x

Interview done and statement signed. I was told the specific date the allegation was made using online form, hardly any details given just I was living with someone as a couple.
From the date given I have an inkling who may have done this, although find it hard to believe and hope I'm wrong.
Time to let it go....
