Hi all,
Have a question if anyone can help?
Me and my Fiancée are going to be moving in together and wondering what the difference will be when we open a joint claim.
I am not working and don’t have to look for work as I have arthritis in both hips and in pain most of the time. I am on PIP and ESA and UC.
She receives UC and child benefits for our 2 children. She did claim carers for myself but stopped that as she started a new job.
She has recently started work but still recieves UC and HOUSING with the obvious deductions from her part time wage.
Would our money be roughly the same as now being separate claims or will there be much of a difference

Thank you for taking time to read and help if you can.
