For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The fact you have someone staying wi you on the odd night may not affect the Housing Benefit but if you receive Income Support as a Lone Parent and yir boyfriend stays, then you may be considered to be co-habiting and yir claim will stop or you will have to claim as a couple.
If in doubt, you MUST tell the Council if it is only Housing Benefit you receive or Social Security/Jobcentre Plus if you get Income Support too..
