Boyfriend and universal credit

[1sttimemumx94]

Hi, I was wondering if someone could help

I'm currently claiming universal credit as a single parent. This is because I still live at home with my parents and I broke up with my baby's father during my pregnancy.

I am now very recently back in a relationship with my baby's father, although we do not live together and have no plans to in the near future (he's in an apprenticeship, I'm still at university, there's not enough room for him here, can't afford our own place etc)

Do I have to inform universal credit of this relationship? I'm not married nor am I living with a partner but unsure whether I have to declare when I'm in a new relationship or not (particularly because it's with my child's father)

Thankyou

Someone more knowledgable will come along shortly I’m sure BUT my gut feeling is if you’re not living together and your finances are not joined (joint account...etc) then no you don’t need to tell them.
I’m not referring to you personally but some ‘couples’ break up and get back together on a seemingly weekly basis. Highly doubt they’re making a phone call to UC every time!

No you don't. You are not living together at all and being with your parents even reinforces that. Doesn't mean he can't stay over at times but whether you are living together is much wider than having sex

No, you aren't living together.
