esa/pip marriage and council housing

I am on esa and pip. i live on my own in mental health supported housing. i am on the council register for housing as an individual. my partner has no fixed address currently and he is on permanent sick leave from his part time job in asda and he is unofficially my carer. he is unable to be official as he is not able to reside at my bedsit as a tenant. we are considering getting married and applying for a joint council place but how would firstly getting married and secondly applying for a place work exactly? would we get help with rent because my partner has a job? would i have to be reassessed? would it be easier if my partner was registered as my carer? if we got married would i be forced to move out by the housing association i am currently with? how would council tax be effected if only one resident was on benefits?

Some councils have very helpful housing advisers. They should certainly help with your questions about council housing. Some of them are also quite knowledgeable about benefits, so I would suggest you try approaching your local council. [Or the one where you would want to live if different, though you probably wouldn't be entitled in a new area]. Best wishes, Denby

what is SDP? and does universal credit mean the same as ESA as i would still qualify for ESA as I still have a brain tumour as well as being signed off long term for mental health.i understand i would have to be reasssesed but my PIP 'needs' would still be exactly the same, how does having a partner effect pip?

ps thanks for your help
