in Benefits and income
Hi can someone help me please .

I'm looking to let my partner move in with me I get uc , lcwra and pip he gets the same type of benefits.

Can someone advise me on what I or we will loose if we both join our claims together.
He will be giving up his property and moving in with myself which is council property also just before we make the change.

Thankyou

    Only one of you can continue to be paid UC although you with both seem be UC claimants. The UC payment will be calculated on your joint situation. You will get less money as a couple than as two individuals (but will of course only have one set of fuel bills etc to pay).

    The UC will include the standard couple allowance, only one of you can have LCWRA elemented, the other could claim the carer element for caring for the other (assuming they get Daily Living PIP and nobody else already claims anything for caring for them).

    You can use a benefit calculator

    The PIP claims are not affected..
