Will my grandson living with me impact my housing benefit and council tax benefit?

hi I'm new to this.
my grandson has lived with me since he was 16. Been away to uni and is now back with me. I receive housing benefit, state pension, and pip enhanced dailyliving and mobility.

He has started working now. Im now wondering how his living back with me and working will impact my housing benefit and council tax benefit.

As your PIP includes Daily Living, then no non dependant deductions will be made to your Housing Benefit. Council Tax Reduction is hard to advise on, as each local authority has different rules.

oh thank you for that. It’s a big thing. The council tax will likely just be me losing the single person allowance so we can live with that
