Hi @Lottioo, welcome to the community, I hope you'll enjoy your time here 😊

Usually it's okay to have visitors, so two nights a week should be alright, but the rules might be a little different if he's intending on using your address as his main home.

Does your son have another main address while he is working?

If the home where his partner lives is his main home then it will not affect your benefits if he stays with you a couple of days a week.
