A quick question regarding my Girlfriend's benefits

Fats5000

Hi everyone.

Me and my Girlfriend have recently been discussing me moving in with her and our Daughter.

I am a student (On Summer holidays) and, at the moment, I am unemployed while she is working and currently claiming certain benefits. We are curious to know if me moving in, regardless if I'm earning or not, will affect the benefits that she is receving?

I am about to fill out a student support form for University and I'm under the impression that it may be better to mention that I currently live with my Girlfriend and Daughter than it would be to mention that I live with my Parents, as my student support would be based on their income (I believe it would still be based on their income even if I did declare that I was living with my Girlfriend so I'm not totally sure what I should do).

I'm sure that the question regarding my Girlfriend's benefits is a fairly fundamental one, but we'd just like to know for sure.

Thanks to everyone for your time! :beer:

it all depends on what benefits she gets. the best thing i could advise you to do is go to your local dwp office and speak to someone there. failing that contact citizens advice and ask them
