JSA and uemployed partner moving in?

I was thinking about moving in with my boyfriend and he is currently unemployed and on JSA.
I have recently become unemployed myself and am moving in with him while I look for another job and have just put in a claim for JSA myself but while at my previous address.
I'm not sure whether to cancel my JSA claim altogether and live on the little money I have left or to let them know I'm moving in with him and to change my claim [which is currently being processed].
I just don't want it to affect his JSA but also don't want either of us to be seen as committing benefit fraud.
Many thanks.

If you move in with him, It will affect his JSA and any CT/HB he recieves. However seeing as your unemployed too, It should just go into a joint claim.0
