    Yes, your housing benefit will not have any non dependant deductions. However, if your ESA is Income Related and it includes the Severe disability premium then you will lose this, unless your father either claims a qualifying disability benefit such as PIP/ADP daily living, DLA mid/high rate care or AA or he's registered blind.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
