    Once they move house she needs to report a change of circumstances. Then tell them she’s moved house.

    Hi @bigaxedwarf (loving the name btw!)

     If you are in a couple but have to make a claim as a single person, your partner's capital/savings will still be taken into account. Any capital/savings you have under £6,000 is ignored. Anything over will be taken into account over how much UC will be received.
