    Your UC entitlement will be based on your joint circumstances on the last day of your assessment period. 
    You won’t know for certain whether there’s any entitlement until you receive your statement. 
    In the meantime you can use a benefits calculator by putting in both your details. https://www.entitledto.co.uk/benefits-calculator

    Hello and welcome @singlemomto3 and thanks for reaching out. I'm sure plenty of our members can relate to the stress and anxiety that applying for benefits causes. If you feel we can help with anything, please ask, and we'll do what we can to help out :)
