| 509477 | 2006-12-26 08:41:00 | We are on Unemployment benefit and student allowance I apply as single but she insisted of applying for de facto relationship Which im afraid mite stuff me up. I think she has stuffed you up. Best go and fess up now, it will take them a mighty long time to find you out, but when they do they will want it paid back. I'm afraid it is probably going to work out less money for you both now. Despite this setback - she sounds like a keeper, honesty is a good attribute. |

| 509478 | 2006-12-27 00:41:00 | We are on Unemployment benefit and student allowance. Interesting, I wasn't aware that students could claim both a student allowance and an unemployment benefit? How does that work? Cheers Billy *<8-{)= |

| 509481 | 2006-12-27 03:05:00 | We both enrol seperately with unemployment benefit.Everything is kept seperate. I did not consider this to be a de facto relationship but more like a girlfriend relationship.Girlfriend relationship isn't really a de facto .This is how I interpret it. |

I dont think WINZ care how you interpret it, it is how they interpret it that matters. Looking at their criteria here (www.workandincome.govt.nz) then if you are both under 25 then it appears the benefit works out the same. |

| 509484 | 2006-12-27 04:56:00 | And of course a study allowance might come under a different interpretation. :D Once upon a time, you might have been subject to disciplinary action from a university just for being in a mixed flat. James K Baxter even wrote a poem about it: An ode to mixed flatting. |

I know of a couple who lived together and were caught out, as they said they weren't in a relationship. They ended up losing both benefits, and had to deal with a benefit fraud enquiry which was very stressful. |

| 509486 | 2006-12-27 23:34:00 | Yes I'll be going to see the man at massey He seems to know what hes doing I didn't think it was a de facto relationship because even though we are living together what she earns is for herself only.We don't share income. Everything is kept separate and we aren't even sure if we are getting marry. Oh well.I'll just wait until the 8th when the man starts work then |
