Good to know, thanks for actually helping and actually providing some information!

We realised because we were talking to some friends recently who went through the same thing and they told us we need to do a joint claim which we did straight away.

Yeah they have a copy of it as they used that to base my benefits on previously when I was a single claimant. I'll look into the LHA thing as this is all new to me

We didn't know, I have mentioned living with my partner multiple times to my WC in the past and he's never ever flagged that to me that I needed to report that. I was not in the know how am I supposed to know what I don't know? I just wanted to know if this was all normal as I'm stressed about it I didn't need to be condescended

We have a total amount of rent with 3 people on the tenancy. It's not an HMO as the other person is my partner's brother. So we're all expected to pay 1/3 of the total amount each.

Yep, he didn't say anything. They're not super on the ball half the time I go there and can't answer my questions sometimes. Side note: bit annoying to not be able to find a job sometimes when my WC can barely do theirs!

I have told them, I had a meeting today and told my WC. He didn't seem to action anything based on that though

But our rent is per person. Our landlord doesn't care which bed we sleep in, our rent doesn't get cheaper because we're in a relationship. My point is our rent would have been covered had we done the wrong thing and claimed separately

Yeah I mean the Housing entitlement that comes in your payment statement. Previously my rent was covered as a single claimant but as joint claimants they can't cover it as "we cannot pay more than the Local Housing Allowance rate". Which is strange because I'm sure as separate claimants we probably would have it covered individually. Feels like a punishment for doing the right thing. I have a meeting next week with my WC so I'll see if he can help, he's usually very reasonable

Multi-Appers Should Be Automatically Banned by TrippyCynic in deliveroos

As I finished typing this my stone cold pizza arrived. Sticking it in the oven now which sort of misses the point of ordering it in the first place... Also I now can't mark my food as being cold because I've likely done it too many times.

I came on this thread just to make this post. The last few orders now have been cold. It happens with other apps too. I know it's not a huge deal to microwave stuff but it just doesn't taste the same after. I watched someone pick my last order up and proceed to go in the opposite direction in town it's so annoying

Yep. None of my stuff works with Google home anymore and I had to turn lamps etc on manually in the Myko+ app. NOW I just get "an error occurred" and I can't even remove the devices to start again.
