How will you assess the size of the property I may be offered?
The number of bedrooms required for each household is calculated in accordance with age, sex, marital status composition and the relationship of the members to one another.
People | Size of room |
|---|---|
Married or cohabiting couple | One bedroom with two bedspaces |
Single adult parent | One bedroom with one bedspace |
Any other person aged 16 or over | One bedroom with one bedspace |
Two children of same sex under 16 | One bedroom with two bedspaces |
Two children of the opposite sex under 10 years | One bedroom with two bedspaces |
Two children of the opposite sex with one child being 10 or over | Two bedrooms, each with one bedspace |
If you have children that do not live with you permanently, as you are not recognised as the main carer or in receipt of all benefits for this child, they will not be assessed as part of your household. This means you will not receive a bedroom allocation for them in your assessment.
