I'm currently receiving PIP and housing benefits paid. My son is in full time work and is about to leave the nest. Who do I inform and how will this effect my benefits?. Thank you.

    Hi @Adam7, welcome to the community :) 

    Your PIP won't be affected at all. How do you get your housing support though? Is it through Universal Credit or are you on the separate housing benefit?

    If it's housing benefit through your Local Authority that you're claiming then it will be them you will need to inform. Whether that will affect your housing benefit will depend on your circumstances.

    If you're privately renting and were claiming a bedroom for him then you will lose that bedroom entitlement. 

    If you're renting from social housing and now have a spare bedroom then you will be affected by the bedroom tax, which is 14% for 1 bedroom.
