You can’t make a new claim for housing benefit, it would be UC?

I applied for uc and they cancelled it last month because they said you have to make a joint claim . I told them she’s illegal but they said still you have to make joint claim.

Ok, so you claimed universal credit, not housing benefit. Yes, it has to be a joint claim which will be reverted to a single claim once your partner has their Habitual Residence Test decision.
