Moving in with Fiancee

I'm about to move in with my fiancee who is currently in part-time work and who claims pip, universal credit, housing benefit and council tax reduction.

For myself i was a long term carer for my mother who is about to enter a nursing home. I have no property (although I will inherit what is left of my mother's estate after her passing) and few savings after years of caring.

I know we will be treated as a couple from the moment I move in with her in a few weeks but will this mean her starting a completely new claim or will it just be amended so to speak to take into account me moving in?

    Your fiancee reports change to UC online that she now has a partner living with her. This will provide a linking code for the new partner. You then apply for UC online as a new claim and it will ask you for the linking code, which will enable the couple claim to be formed.

    Obviously your financee needs to contact Council for their form to amend the Council tax claim.

    If the Housing is still under Housing benefit and not part of Universal Credit, this indicates it might be supported accommodation which Council helps pay for ? If so, the Council should amend the claim as necessary when your fiancee contacts them.

    In regard to PIP, not sure whether your fiancee needs to advise them.
    The comments I post are personal opinion. Always refer to official information sources before relying on internet forums. If you have a problem with any organisation, enter into their official complaints process at the earliest opportunity, as sometimes complaints have to be started within a certain time frame.

    On the 26th December you posted saying that your mother passed away a few weeks ago.. :eek:


    You also stated that you are living with your partner but now you're saying that you are about to move in with them...



    If you don't give all the correct information then others will not be able to give you the correct advice.

    PIP is not affected so this is not a change that needs to be reported.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.
  • I have given the correct information my mother did have a serious stroke on the 23rd. My plans to move in with my fiancee have moved forward.

    My mother passed away a few weeks ago and I will very soon inherit her home. At the moment I live with my partner in a council property and we pay council tax there.

    I fully understand council tax is chargeable on the property but will it be payable from the proceeds of the sale. There is no way I could currently afford to pay until it is sold.

    Thanks

    Are you sure about that? Your previous thread states otherwise...

    I should have added I inherit the house under a settlement which comes into effect if she was in a position were she could no longer occupy it. I did imply that she had died but the situation with regard to me receiving the house is complicated to say the least so I tried to simplify things.

    Apologies for the incomplete info but after the christmas I have had I am sure most people would understand.

    Simplify things by saying she died :eek:



    what about your partner, in the other thread you said you already live with her and now you're saying you're going to live with her but which one is correct?


    Sorry but if you want advice then you really do need to give all the correct details, as previously advised, if you don't then no further help can be given.
