UC

My new job us only 28 hrs a week can I claim UCLA if I live with my partner but not married and disregard his income always paid my own way

No if you live with your partner their wage is taken into account as you are a couple. You can live with someone and be classed as single.

*can’t

I thought it has to be under 16 hours a week too?

If you live with your partner then you will need to have a joint claim. It's unlikely you will qualify for UC unless you have a very high rent.

Hours don't matter under UC.
But you would have to make a joint claim unless you can prove you are not a couple (unlikely given what you've told us).

You can't disregard his income if you live together.

If your new job is only 28 hours and that's not enough for you to live on how come your first thought isn't how can I increase my hours, perhaps with a second part time job?

No hours avaliable they took on few more staff
