Hello, Hope someone can advise me.
My partner and I (Both male) have lived together for many years, we privately rent a 2 bedroom terraaced house.
Due to health issues and other things we have not shared a bed for a few years and effectively share a house as friends.
We both lost Jobs and are both on Benefits, I get assesment rate ESA whilst i wait for my appeal (18 months and counting) (£71.70 week) and the old style Housing Benefit (£54.??/Week) Partner jets JSA £71.70 and New Housing allowance (£57.??/week)
Our rent is £495 per month which they dont pay all of. We now also have to pay about £200 for the year with the new Council tax cutback.
Our relationship is now extremely strained and I am just waiting for it to end. When Partner moves out will I be able to claim more housing benefit or woud they leave mine as it is so I would have to move?
Thank you for reading and any responces are valued.
Matt
