    When you move in together, you would report the change and link your claims together. You would then be paid based on your joint entitlement as a couple.

    In a couples claim only one person can be paid for LCWRA, although you'll both still be classed as LCWRA with no work commitments.

    Do either of you receive Daily Living PIP?

    You can use a benefits calculator to estimate joint entitlement.

    No work capability reassessments would happen.
