I claim UC and I get the disability element to say I can’t work and I also get PIP, I’m looking on moving in with my partner I currently claim single because we aren’t living together but when I declare we are in a relationship and living together how will my UC be effected

HI,When you move in with your partner they will need to make a claim for UC for you to claim as a couple. Whether you'll be entitled to UC once they move in will totally depend on circumstances. Use a benefits calculator and put both your details into it to see what you maybe entitled to. https://www.entitledto.co.uk/benefits-calculator/Intro/Home?cid=12626820-dd4e-4934-8391-95e6f2db5c76Your PIP won't be affected.

I have absolutely no idea because you haven't given any information. Please use the benefits calculator i posted above.

Hello @orourke20. Under your current circumstances with your partner not working, when you move in together all that should change is your single element on UC will change to the couple element. You'll continue to receive the LCW/LCWRA element.
When your partner begins work, their wages will affect your overall UC. Whether you'll still be entitled to any depends on how much they'll be earning.
As others have mentioned your PIP will not be affected.0
