    Hi @jakki66, welcome to the community. The benefit rules are really unfortunate when it comes to living with partners, I feel your pain there. It's lovely to hear you're enjoying your new relationship, though.

    What kind of help do you need? If it's help with care or daily life, you could ask your council for a needs assessment and they might be able to organise some equipment or care to help make life a little easier.
