Your overall UC award would be based on your circumstances for as a couple. You would have a joint claim.

Standard allowance would be at the couples rate of £616.70 (assuming you are both over 25).

Your finances Transitional Protection would also end completely, due to her claim changing from a single to a joint couple claim.

Try a benefits calculator to see your joint entitlement.

If you move in with your fiancé you would need to join claims.

Together you would get:

Couples basic rate
Housing element
1x LCWRA
1x Child Element

If your fiancé cares for you for more than 35 hours a week then they can add 1x Carers Element as well.

They would lose the Transitional Protection.

Your PIP will stay exactly the same.
