Hi and welcome to the community

You will lose the 25% reduction for living on your own

But you don't mention if you get any other reduction

Each council has there own eligibility rules for reduction so we can't really advise

You will need to contact the council they may have details on their website

If a partner moves in that will change your entitlement to all means tested benefits. What else do you claim?

I'm on universal credit but since he has moved I'm not getting anything from Uc because his earnings are high and he is not giving me anything because he came here to support me for my health and he was fine to pay rent but nothing else I thought he will be asked to pay rent only but now everything is mess I'm struggling now :-(

Your Council Tax Reduction is likely to be calculated based on your UC entitlement. If your UC entitlement is now nil then i would expect your Council Tax Reduction could change also.

If you have poor health have you ever looked at possible entitlement to PIP?

Other than Child Benefit, which you presumably already get, no. Be aware however that if you partner earns over £50,000 per annum the High Income Child Benefit Charge will apply.

His earnings are normally 2500 monthly but he got grant couple of time from his self employment work because of covid effect

I understand that he moved in to help you but surely he doesn't expect to only pay rent

In my opinion if he shares the house he should share all the associated costs after all if he lived on his own he would have to pay everything

I get he shouldn't have to pay towards the children

Do you get any support financially from the children father?
