Im on IS, Child tax and Housing Benefit as a lone parent with a 3 year old.
My partner is going to move in and apply for JSA, how will this affect my benefits? What will i get/not get? Will he have to claim for the whole family or singley?
Please help as im getting super confused...thanks

Your DP will claim JSA for himself with you has a dependant.This is 201.90 every 2 weeks.Child tax should be around 54 every week.Child benefit 20 every week.
You will lose your Income support.You will still get housing benefit and council tax benefit.
Good luck
