Hi @brighton1, welcome to the community. I'm afraid I don't know the answer to your question myself, but I will pop your post over to our Housing section where members with the right experience can find it more easily. You've done nothing wrong by posting here, it just helps people to offer you the right support.

Hope you can get it all sorted soon 😊

If he’s named on the tenancy agreement as well as you then you can claim help with the rent for your 50% share.

For help with the rent you will need to claim Universal Credit, this will then end any Income Related ESA you’re claiming 2 weeks after you submit a claim for UC.

There will be no deductions because your PIP includes the daily living part.
