UC specifics if partner gets job?

We've been claiming UC as a couple since the beginning of the CV pandemic. However, my partner has just got a new job. Will this stop me receiving my share of the UC?

Whether you'll continue to be entitled to any UC will depend on your partner earnings received during your assessment period. If you don't have dependant children on your claim then you won't have the work allowance, this means that your UC will be reduced by 63% for every £1 of earning received.Use a benefits calculator to see what you maybe entitled to. https://www.entitledto.co.uk/benefits-calculator/Intro/Home?cid=4e3b69fd-3116-480b-8659-3dedbeb21ce2

Thanks for the responses.Do your payments stop immediately once you tell them you have a new job, or will you still receive a final payment? For example - if our payment date is the 26th, and one of us starts a new job on the 5th, would we still be paid the full amount on the 26th for one final time?0

That will depend how much earnings you recieve during your assessment period.
