Can I say it's about time.

Good for them. now if they only offered real benefits there. But I guess I shouldn't say that.

 

[PeteJC]

I don't know. What kind of benefits do they offer and when?

 

[PeteJC]

Will this allow good friends and indirect relatives to claim dependent or partner status and claim benefits? Lets say I'm single and I take in a 2nd cousin or great nephew or grade school buddy who struggles to keep a job? Why would a sexual relationship even be a factor?

Pete, You can only have 1 partner at a time, and only 1 a year, and you must have sex of some sort once every 28 days
