ESA, Separation

My husband is in the main phase support group of Employment and Support Allowance, income-based. We are splitting and he is moving out in the beginning of December. What is the process for notifying ESA of this? Does he need to just send a letter explaining the change in circumstances? Does he have to apply all over again? He's been receiving it for about a year and will need to indefinitely. He's worried about how he'll be able to afford rent on his new flat if his claim is suspended/stopped while they adjust it to single from couple. Thank you!

He should either write a letter or telephone the contact centre to inform them of a change of circumstance. They will not stop his benefit they will simply apply the change to the claim and recalculate the award.0
