    Hi there 

    I don't think Poppy is around at the moment to give advice but if you can give more details we can help hopefully.

    What advice do you need, do you think you have claimed anything you are not entitled to , did they give you any information or indicate what was wrong

    Hi yes it can be common for checks to be done to make sure you are in correct benefits 

    Did you let them know you stopped living with your partner ? Do you think he may still be claiming as a couple? 

    Try not to worry
