CCM15395 - Undisclosed Partners: Separated couple living at the same address
CCM15070
acknowledges that a separated couple may sometimes continue to
live at the same address for financial reasons. Usually this is
because one or both of them would be unable to buy or rent suitable
accommodation or they cannot sell their old property or there would
be a significant penalty to pay if they redeemed their mortgage.
Where a claimant says they are still living at the same
address as their ex-partner you will need to consider what aspects
of their financial or domestic circumstances have changed.

These can be difficult and sensitive issues but what you are trying to establish is whether a married couple or civil partners are separated in such circumstances as to be permanent. And for other couples are they are still living together as husband and wife or living together as civil partner.
