Moving In Together - any benefits?

I am moving in with my fiance at the end of the month and was wondering if anybody could advise if any benefits would be available?
Currently he is a full time student nurse (final year) and receives a bursary as a single parent and also CTC for his 3 kids.
I am working 30 hours and receive a small amount of WTC. My 18 y.o. daughter will also be moving in and she is receiving JSA after leaving college in June.
I assume his bursary will be reduced because he's no longer a single parent, but would we be entitled to any HB? And would I still get WTC?
Can't find out on turn2us.org.uk because it's a bit complicated so any help would be greatly appreciated

Check but I think the student finance/bursaries including the NHS one are calculated at the start of the year so having been assessed as being eligible I don't think that changes. Check the paperwork to see if you are told to inform them if your situation/status changes. Your WTC would end when your child finishes education anyway I think though if his children will be living with you then it would continue but probably he would claim. Your partners student finance is taken into account for benefits purposes including any he is eligible for but hasn't applied for (ie loans). Anyway check all this out as I'm not certain."Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them." Dalai Lama0

Haha yeah I did realise when I read the post back that I seemed to be asking if there were any benefit to moving in together :rotfl:0 -
NHS student bursaries are ignored for tax credit purposes so your (joint) WTC and CTC claim would be based on purely your income0
