Separate, UC and joint mortage

Hi,

I am separating from DH, not sure for how long or if it will be the end of us. We have a joint mortgage. I am leaving the house and renting. We have 1 DC and I have him more nights than DH.

We have a fair bit of equity on the house: a lot more than £16k each.

Until we know our future together will my equity in the house count against me after six months when it comes to claiming UC?

I can't seem to find a definiteive answer online and AI is giving me mixed messages too.

EDIT: Sorry, the post title should be: Separation, UC and joint mortage
