Hi just wondering if anyone can help me, I recently added my Fiancé to my claim as advised as she moved in with me and is on a fiancé visa and can't claim benefits or work.
I am in receipt of LCWRA and now we have a joint claim and she has an interview Tuesday (standard identity) does anyone know if I'll still get my payments while we wait for this? My statement date is also Tuesday the 13th and payment date 17th will this affect it ?(History has cleared and I can't see old statements or payments) will it now be a new claim!?
Really can't afford to lose a month's money and they aren't very helpful or clear they just told me I must make a joint claim even though my Fiancé can't claim money or work on her fiance visa.

You were advised correctly if you live together, you must claim as a couple. If she has no recourse to public funds. (NRPF) then you must tell UC this, if you haven't already.
When going from single to joint claim or vice versa, all your history on your claim will be cleared. You will keep the same assessment periods and payment date you have previously. Hopefully your next statement will be produced without issues and then you'll receive your usual payment.0 -

Hopefully you will receive your payment as normal. What evidence are they asking you to take in?0
