Help
My son has left my house after being homeless at home. His transitional payment has reduced significantly . He got 762 including the carers element . Now £352 . That’s less than the carer component and single person payment . He has to pay bedroom tax . He can’t manage. Is this correct ? he’s gone to adapted living.
