    All UC is means tested including your LCWRA element.

    If you move in together Universal Credit will be calculated on your circumstances as a couple.

    It depends on how much he earns as to whether there is any entitlement to UC.

    You can try a benefits calculator, and remember it's cheaper for two to live together than run seperate households.

    Hi @JoJo246810 and welcome to the community.

    I can see Kimmy has already answered your question, but I just wanted to pop in and say a quick hello. 😁
