What will I lose benefits wise if my.partner moves in
Hi my partner and I are wanting to live together sometime in the future, but I currently don't work. Im on PIP, I'm also on contribution based esa as I worked full time before I came off ill, and I am in the support group as I'm not fit to work. I also get UC too. My partner works full time and doesn't claim any benefits. I am quite anxious becsuse I don't want to be dependent on my partner.

Your PIP & New Style ESA wouldn't be effected.
Your partner would need to start a UC claim, and you would link the claims together.
Your UC award then is based on your joint circumstances as a couple.
Due to the LCWRA you would have what's known as a work allowance on the claim. This is the amount of money your partner can earn before UC make their standard deduction of 0.55p for every pound earned.
If you claim Housing Element, this is £411, if not £683 with both amounts rising slightly next month.
Try a benefits calculator to estimate your joint award, filling it in as though you are already living together.

If you've been declared unfit to work, I don't think you need to worry too much.
