    When claiming UC as a couple they will only put the payment into one bank account, they won’t split the payment into two banks.

    He doesn’t need it though as he works

    You can always change bank accounts and ask them to put it into yours. Your UC is a couple claim so the payments are for both of you as a couple. Your partner should be giving you some money too.

    I'm glad that poppy123456 has been able to clear this up for you @bigaxedwarf :) 

    Is this something you could speak to your partner about?

    Can’t he just transfer me it over ?

    You will need to ask your partner if they can do that. That has nothing to do with UC.
