If you move in with your boyfriend it would depend on circumstances if he could claim carers allowance eg does he care for you for at least 35 hours a week, does he work if so are his earnings below the permitted amount
If you are on any means tested benefits moving in together could also affect these and you would claim as a couple
I suggest you go through benefits calculator and enter all your detauls to see what you can claim
As for moving into sheltered housing I am not too sure but other members will be able yo advise more
As suggested use the benefits calculator on the gov website to enter both your details
