    it all seems rather fortuetous. the OP is losing her SDP because her son is now an adult. seems like she has also lost ctc and cb for him too. NOW it's ok for the boyfriend to move in as she won't lose benefits as he is now also unemployed.

    will the boyfriend move out when he gets a job?

    That remains to be seen I guess. I think as long as the son and boyfriend expend as much effort in finding work as OP does finding benefits they can claim, it shouldn't be long before they do. Let's hope so.
    If you will the end, you must will the means.

    Perhaps the op would be better off getting her son and boyfriend to visit

    Hang on, the boyfriend can claim carer's allowance, go on her Is claim and never have to work again.
