Some friends of mine did this about 5 years ago after he lost his job. He went back to his mum's while GF claimed benefit and manged to keep their home. This lasted about 6 months until he got another job, when they got back togeather again. Both of them are now working, with the oldest child just starting uni.
Not saying this is right but they were better off financially by doing this.
I was a working single mum for a while and although I thought I had a good job, (permie BA with Company Car) I was no better off then others who were claiming benefit at the end of the month - Does make you wonder!
