Other Non-Dependant People Living With You
If you have friends, relatives or anyone over 18 living in your home, you may get less Housing Benefit. The amount may be taken out of your benefit for each non-dependant who lives in your home.
Non-dependants do not include:
- Your partner.
- A child you get Child Benefit for.
- People under 18 years of age.
- People in full-time education.
- People on Youth Training Schemes.
No money will be taken out of your benefit for non-dependants if:
- You get Attendance Allowance.
- You get the care part of Disability Living Allowance.
- You are registered blind.
