Should I move in with my G/f?

    I'm currently a full time student in reciept of BTEA but no grant as I'm currently living with my parents. My g/f has just had our second child together and her 4th in total and I really want to move in but am totally terrified that we'll be worse off financially if we do. Can anyone give me a definitive answer as to what we'll be entitled to based on the below

    Me: over 21 single never married 2 children with current g/f on BTEA 196.00 per week
    G/F : over 21 Separated on deserted wives allowance 4 children 2 of which are mine. Has Council House

    basically what confuses me is If I move in will I be entitled to claim for the 2 kids that are not mine and if not will she still be able to claim for them
    and will we be in reciept of the same total benefits or will we be worse off as we are barely surviving at the the moment but I would dearly love to live together as a family

    Any Advice would be greatly appreciated

    You might have done this already but if not, you could call the Citizen's Information helpline. I've called them a couple of times and they really know their stuff.

    1890-777121

    Sorry I can't be more help, and good luck.
