Hi, my name is kmcl4! Will she be expected to pay full rent or will I lose half of my UC?

hi I have been off work due to long covid since July. I am receiving statutory sick pay, UC and have just been awarded LCWRA. I’m not coping with cooking/cleaning etc and my daughter is going to move back in with me to help. My daughter is 23 and is self employed. How will this affect my benefits? Will she be expected to pay full rent or will I lose half of my UC? Sorry this is all new to me.

    If you receive Housing Element, £91.47 a month will be deducted from your UC award.

    If you currently live alone, you'll lose your single person's Council Tax Discount.

    If you receive any Council Tax Reduction, the award will need to be recalculated.
