yup - just cos you don't share a residence doesn't make you single. defence force, miners, truckers wives - we'd all be able to claim single status for x number of days per week if that applied. you obviously reconciled if you tied the knot. the day you reconciled is the day you should have notified centrelink. what bed you sleep in doesn't define your partnered status - there is much much more to it than that

i get VERY annoyed at the notion that is out there that spending 3 or less nights together a week means you're not "partnered" - pfffft. if that's the case, from the day DH and I got together until September last year, i was single!
