Housing and Council Tax Benefits
People living with you
Many people have adult family and friends living with them. The rules set by the Government say that anyone who is living with you gives you money towards our rent, even if they do not. For benefit purposes these people are called non-dependants. This means that we must take away a set amount from your Housing and Council Tax Benefit depending on the dependant’s income.
