Hi and welcome to the community glad you have joined us.
If you move in with your boyfriend it would depend on circumstances if he could claim carers allowance eg does he care for you for at least 35 hours a week, does he work if so are his earnings below the permitted amount
If you are on any means tested benefits moving in together could also affect these and you would claim as a couple
I suggest you go through benefits calculator and enter all your detauls to see what you can claim
As for moving into sheltered housing I am not too sure but other members will be able yo advise more1 -
he works fulltime on night shifts0

If he works full time then he wont be able to claim carers allowance for you, and also his income could affect your ESA depends what type of ESA you get, it will not however affect your PIP.
As suggested use the benefits calculator on the gov website to enter both your details0 -
HI,No he won't be able to claim carers allowance for looking after you because he works full time.As mentioned in your other thread here https://community.scope.org.uk/discussion/73113/moving-info#latest you'll need to speak to DWP to ask exactly what ESA you're claiming because if all of it is Income Related then this will end when you mive in with your partner.Whether you'll be able to claim Universal Credit as a couple will depend on your partners earnings.
