Moving in

My partner gets JSA and is due to be moving in next week I reackon.


My partner lived here before and was on my Income Support claim and claimed Carer's Allowance also.


Can somebody advise the most smooth way to change on to my IS claim? As I can't mind how to do it and how it will effect money til it is sorted.

Is it best partner coming of JSA then phone IS to place him on my claim a day or two later for the system to update? Will my IS money be stopped til they place partner on claim?

In respect of Carer's Allowance. Can partner do a rapid reclaim for this? Or will it be best just to re-apply online for it?

Thanks
