Hi,

Myself and my wife are struggling health wise,we are on Universal credit and both receive pip,my daughter who is employed full time is thinking of moving back in to help us cope,she can work from home 2-3 days a week, would this affect our Universal credit claim.

Many thanks.

    If you're claiming for help with the rent and your PIP includes the daily living part then there would be no non dependant deductions. You would also be entitled to extra housing element, if there's a short of rent.

    You will need to report the changes to UC if she does move back in with you. Same applies to council Tax reduction and you would need to report the changes to your local Authority.
