Hello,

Am i able to claim as a single person in these circumstances?

Me and my children's father have separated, however at present he still mostly lives at the same address as me as neither of us can currently afford to move out.

He also stays at his mums occasionally but stays here to help and see our young children.

We have sperate finances, the bills are in my name etc.

I am struggling a bit though and any help I am entitled to would be hugely helpful.

Finding it a bit confusing when looking online and there is conflicting information.

The split is amicable thankfully.

Thank you

Yes he'll need to be removed from the tenancy agreement, but can be added as an adult living with you. Which you can then change when he leaves

Will he need to be removed from the tenancy agreement too?

Thanks

Yes you can claim.
Ring Citizen's advice and they will do the claim for you.
