    If you leave your partner, you won't lose the LCWRA element. What I advise you to do is take a screenshot of the decision letter for the work capability assessment, just incase anything happens.

    This is because when you go from a joint to single claim, or vice versa, you lose all your journal entries, including all your past statements. 

    If you split from your partner you will need to report a change of circumstances and tell them you're no longer living with them. Your claim will then revert to a single claim. 

    As they are your cats then yes take them with you. They are not just cats, they are part of your family. 
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Your benefits will be fine, do what's best for you and if your relationship is making your mental health bad or he's the sort to threaten to take your cats away then it sounds like you might be better without him!!! <3

    Hi @ella1992, I can see you're already getting support, but I just wanted to stop in and check if you have friends or family you can talk to about all of this, especially your mental health?
