    Hi 

    In answer to your question yes they will want to know about your living arrangements and associated costs 

    Not sure if you need to say who you live with but if you pay rent or anything 

    Have a look at the application form online to see

    Please don't transfer just for the money. Once you are on UC you are on it and there's no going back
