Mixed age couple - working age member is NRPF
Mixed age couple but working age partner is NRPF in the circumstances no claim to UC but PC and HB?
It’s PC and HB. Universal Credit can only be claimed as a couple if both members of the couple are eligible. As the NRPF partner is ineligible for benefit, UC can’t be claimed and PC steps in.
If its the other way round (pension age partner is ineligible) then the working age partner would claim UC as a single claimant.
Thank you :-)
