Universal credit and sponsoring spouse

Hello everyone, I am a bit confused about a situation I am in and I want to share for advice. I have indefinite leave to remain and I have 2 kids from previous relationship. I am in another relationship now and we are planning to get married towards the end of the year. My current partner is a student in the uk and I will need to file for him at some point next year. I currently meet up with the minimum threshold but I have just applied for universal credit to support my income of 19,500. I am planning to keep my job and continue taking the universal credit to support my income. Will there be a problem when I try to file for my partner because I am taking universal credit although I meet up with the minimum threshold required?

To begin any subsequent relation you must first will have to liberate from any previous relationship in the form of divorce etc. If you aren't living and in good terms with your partner to who you had sponsored then you will have to report about the breakdown of your relationship to UKVI. However, if you don't rather helping him to secure the ILR by misrepresenting the actual circumstances then both of you can be reprimanded where your ILR might be revoked.

Shouldn't be a problem if it is a benefit you are entitled to based on your immigration status. Universal credit cannot be used towards meeting the financial requirement though so be sure you are able to satisfy this requirement solely with your other income.
