Want to move partner in..

[TeeA00]

Hi there. I'm after some advice please. I live in a council house. Been here 8 years now. I'm a mum of 2 and I work 30 hours, pay my full rent and whatnot although I do receive singles persons discount on my council tax. I also receive working tax and child tax credit to top up my wages as I earn just above minimum wage.
I would like to move my partner in but am not sure if this will affect my benefits. I don't want to make any rash decisions as my partner doesn't work so not sure how they would factor him onto the tenancy agreement. I would imagine I'd lose my singles persons discount on my council tax but does anybody know if I'd lose my working tax and child tax credit also?
My partner doesn't work so not sure how it all works tbh.
Can someone please help clarify these things? Any help and advice will be much appreciated.

Thank you.

Yes you will lose tax credits as you will need to claim UC as a couple. Why doesn’t he work?

Moving a non working partner into your home will lead to a large reduction in your benefit income. Why does he not work?

This doesn’t sound like a good idea. Move into together when you can both afford it..not when the benefits system can afford it.

Don't do it. My friend has just done the same and the reduction is shocking.
If you are mad enough to move him in don't put him on the tenancy. Why doesn't he work?

She's about 100 pw worse off btw.

Why on earth would you move him in when he doesn't work? You'll be financially much much worse off. Fgs

Don't move him in whilst he is unemployed!

Your benefits are going to take a serious nosedive and your outgoings - council tax, water, gas, electric and food bills etc will go up having someone in the house all day.

I'm sure being the only earner will grate on you too after the novelty of him moving in has worn off, unemployed people with a partner will very very rarely get any financial help so you will in theory be paying for EVERYTHING.

Everything you spend subsiding him is money you’re taking away from your children.

Wow thank you for your prompt responses. You've all been a great help. It's safe to say I won't be moving anyone in until they are employed! I get by ok now with what I earn but I would for sure struggle if I was receiving any less..

Thank you all

Glad to hear you wont be moving him him in without him being employed first.

I did that with my ex and believe me it was a shit storm from the word go. It really messed my money up and my head in the end

I'm currently at the point of moving my new partner in and I'm having the same misgivings but he is full time employed on minimum wage, I'm currently unstable due to potential redundancy. I would lose a lot of support if I did as claiming for a single parent.
