I really dont understand tbh. Ive filled in online application and have told them waiting for uc decision, thats on local council website. Just to send relevent documents by a deadline apparently. 
 Me and my partner are honestly clueless hes not been out of work for about 12 years has always managed to walk into a new job  but obviously strange times at moment

UC includes the housing element, which has replaced housing benefit, child elements, carers element and the stand element for yourself and your partner. It doesn't include, carers allowance, DLA or Council tax reduction. Your carers allowance will be deducted £1 for £1 from the UC amount.

A benefit calculator will tell you what you maybe entitled to. https://www.entitledto.co.uk/

The application you have made to your Council will most likely be assessed for Council Tax Reduction, not Housing Benefit.

Ok thank you. Will look at doing calculator. 
See my partner had filled the online uc application but havent heard a peep. I know things are different with whats going on but they havent asked about housing costs or whT my income is or anything like that. 

Sorry for banging on just its all new find it so confusing. Thanks for taking time to try and explain things though
