Hi. Hope someone here can help as I am finding CAB pretty useless... I have Bi-Polar disorder, and currently get DLA and Income Support. I am in a relationship and my partner and I are thinking of moving in together and eventually getting married. We are really worried about how this would effect my benefits. He is in a lowish paid admin job. Can anyone offer any advice as how this would effect me financially?

DLA will continue as it's non-means tested. Income support however is means tested so will be unlikely to be eligible.Lost my soulmate so life is empty.
I can bear pain myself, he said softly, but I couldna bear yours. That would take more strength than I have -
