I'm good, thank you. I'm having a problem, I need a help. I'm out of job and I want to apply for uc. I'm with my children and partner. My partner and I share the bill in the house. Now she doesn't want to have anything to do with UC. Is it possible to apply alone so I can pay for bill in the house?

Hi again  @jaician - Pleased to read you're good, but I'm very sorry you're out of a job. About UC, any income/savings your partner has would be taken into account if you wish to apply for UC.

See the government's website for further information: https://www.gov.uk/universal-credit/eligibility

Click on this site's other links to explain more.

I don't know if this will help your situation, but, perhaps if you both look through this, it might show this will help you, & your children.

As Ails says, please do let us know how you get on. And do just chat here any time.

Hello @jaician1404, as mentioned above, if you're living with a partner you'll have to make a joint claim for Universal Credit. Is there a reason your partner doesn't want to apply?
