Hi 91dan and welcome
Congratulations
Are you in a live service area or a full service area ?
As you are in the support group even if you do have to claim UC you should transfer to the LWCRA which is the same as SG
If in doubt the try CAB for f2f advice

Hello it's live for single people and full service from November although from December they are not to accept New claimants .
So change if circumstance at that time may mean that we will go down the normal route.
However I'm hearing bad things about the equivalent support group making them work , I couldn't cope a d I can't cope with out my wife
I think in time I will go to cab for advise . But if you know anything else , I would appreciate it
