    PIP is not means tested so won't be affected by moving in with a partner. Best way to change address is to ring them because they don't always action letters like this. 

    Are you or your partner claiming any other benefits? if so which ones? 
    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.

    I'll also move this over to our PIP category incase you do have more questions.
