in Universal Credit (UC)

Hello. My daughters boyfriend (18) is currently living at the YMCA and he gets 311 PM in Universal Credit (works full time). He will be giving up his place and moving in with me and my daughter and contributing 200 PM towards the rent. Will he still be entitled to his universal credit? Will it affect my daughters pip and UC?

Thank you

    Her PIP won't be affected.

    Once living together they need to report the change to UC, and link their claims together. Entitlement will then be based on their joint circumstances as a couple.

    They can use a benefits calculator to estimate joint entitlement.
