What benefits could I claim if I lived at a friend's house that they own?

This is mostly hypothetical at the moment, but I wanted to know what benefits I would be able to claim if I moved into a friend's house that they own; I don't know what other benefits I might be getting at this point, so a clear explanation of the different possibilities would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    Benefits for moving into your friend's house? I don't know what do you mean by this? Can you just please explain if you don't mind.

    Regardless of where you are living if you are single your benefit entitlement is unchanged.
    Are you claiming benefits at the moment?

    A previous thread by the OP says they were/are claiming UC, although this was a year ago. As they didn't have enough NI contributions for a NsESA claim at the time then it's unlikely they will now. Thread here. https://forum.scope.org.uk/discussion/74009/benefits-and-savings#latest

    Unlikely (?)
