moving in with a partner

myself and my husband currently live apart, we want to move in together again but want to know how it will effect our universal credit claim.

If you move in together your Universal Credit claims will be linked and entitlement based on that couples claim.

You can try using a benefits calculator:

Do remember it's cheaper for two people in terms of household running costs, compared to two people living apart and running individual households.
