Son's partner moving in with us

My Son's partner is going to move in with us as she has got a job locally. She will pay us a contribution to food and bills (about £50 per week) and have her own bedroom.

My Son is on income based job seekers allowance.

Does he need to tell the Job Centre that his girlfriend is moving in? Will it affect is JSA?

Thanks in advance for your help.

    He would need to advise the JCP and they will decide if they are living together as a couple or not.
    Gone ... or have I?
