Sad truth is you're right, you would be better off (financially!) living apart. Likewise, myself and OH would be entitled to greater benefits if he lost his job, or if we lived seperately. It's no wonder some people opt to screw the system, in the case of welfare it just doesn't "pay" to do things the "decent" way.
