ESA and getting married

Samsam05

Me and my partner are getting married in October. She receives income related ESA; we don’t live together and aren’t planning to just yet. Will she lose her entitlement when she declares changes?

If you are not living together then there is no change to report (unless she wants them to change her name).

So she doesn’t need to inform them she’s married? Unless she wants to change her name?

No, as advised by calcotti.
