    Once you are living together then all the previous advice you received applies.

    but when my partner and me get married when she changes her name will that force any changes?

    It's moving in together that is the important relevant change as far as UC is concerned.

    Unless you move in together, then only getting married will not effect your Universal Credit award.

    For PIP neither living together or getting married effects your money.

    I doubt it very much getting married is a normal part of life unwell or not... Unless you are claiming to be housebound 24/7.

    Getting married shouldn't affect your PIP or LWCRA @Abcd1988 😊
