Hi

I have a couple who are treated as a single UC claim because one of them is an ineligible partner.

I’m advising on their budget for PRS accommodation in London.

Am I correct in saying that the Benefit Cap will be for a single person?  They can’t take advantage of the higher benefit cap for a couple?

Thanks
