Hi @ella1992
Thanks for making this post, I hope you are well.
It's normal to worry about how such a change would impact your benefit. I'm not completely sure of an answer, but I found the below snippet on this Citizens Advice page which may help somewhat:If you split up with your partner:
Your Universal Credit claim will continue. Your next Universal Credit payment will be on the same day of the month but will be for a single person. This changes how much Universal Credit you get.
Also, I just wanted to let you know that I have edited your title a bit so that other members know what your query is in relation to0 -
Also have a look at these links. Are you able to share with us details of your housing situation ? Do you get housing costs in your UC ? Have you got somewhere to move to ?

You will each have your UC claims converted to single claims - this will apply from the start of the assessment period n which the change takes place. If you are getting it for yourself your LCWRA is not affected.0
