Sorry more questions!!

I'm filling out my form E, and it asks if I'm planning to co-habit in the next 6 months. And I don't know??
I have a partner and we do wish to live together, however, I don't know if we will find a place suitable for us all, his work, schools etc within 6 months? But I don't want to say 'No', then we find somewhere in 4 months time and it looks like I've lied?
Also it asks about my benefits over the next 12 months, I will cease to receive many once I co-habit, so again this could be in 4 months, 6 or 9?

I really don't want to look like I'm avoiding or hiding anything.

Thanks in advance

I would reply as of now...No! It will save a lot of hassle. Best to live together after the settlement, otherwise your new other halfs financial info will come into it too. It is not a lie as it is of today's view. Things change, stuff happens, you can always add at a later date if things change.

My recommendation would be to answer the question, honestly and truthfully at the current point in time. From what you have said, the question appears to be quite simple (and one I will have to address myself shortly): are you planning to co-habit in the next 6 months?

Let me put the question another way without losing context hopefully: do you have any plans to co-habit in the next 6 months?

If you have made plans or carried out any activities towards cohabiting, this would suggest you have planned or are planning; if you don't then it would suggest not. Clear?

We have looked at a few areas that would be suitable for his work and the children's school, so to be truthful on the form it will have to be a yes!
I'm guessing there will be chance to explain we have no actual plans/dates?

Personally I would say No. it will save you a lot of grief.

Unless you can see yourself actually doing it within six months the answer is No.
