Hi, You will have to ring tax credit and tell them intended date of partner moving in. I'm afraid your single parent payment will be stopped immediately. You then have to ask for a form to start new claim as a joint one. Try get claim form back as soon as possible, as it takes up to 2 weeks to process. But you will get entitlement backdated from day your partner moved in.
