Universal Credit HELP

[messes]

So I've ncd because I'm embarrassed.

H and I got into a blazing row last night and I broke down and took him off my UC claim. It was a really stupid thing to do. I'm trying to re add him to my name but it's asking when we first moved in together. Do I put:

The first date we started living together in 2016

The date we moved into our council property

Or today??

God, I have absolutely no idea. I hope someone soon can offer you advice.

Are you ok? That must have been quite a row.

Hi @GaelicButter , thanks for the reply. I don't want to get it wrong and get into trouble. I'm okay but H has been utterly crap this lockdown

I think I'd try sending a message to your work coach instead with a 'oops! I've done this by mistake....' and resubmit all the details as before? You don't want it to look like a brand new claim calculation, or have them querying have u split up/not and doing a restart. I'd honestly just try and style it out as an accident.

sorry don't know about UC, but as a general rule isn't it best to put the truth. why wouldn't you. what is it you're worried about.
put the date you started living together as a couple if that is the question.
sorry if that is no help, but how could it harm you to tell the truth. it seems to me that to put anything else might cause you problems. good luck anyway.

Okay so I put the date as the date we got our current home and put w very apologetic note in my journal explaining the situation. However I have a code to link the accounts and my husband cannot see it on his account?

I'll bet you're not the first person to have done it before. But the important things is to keep all the details the same as before. You hadn't actually split up and he hasn't moved out.

I would ring them as he may need to start a new claim to add him back on. best to ring and ask the best thing to do. Hope you get it sorted.
