in Universal Credit (UC)

Hi I've recently been awarded the daily living and mobility elements of PIP and am in receipt of the housing element of Universal Credit. My son lives with me most of the time and he works but I read that if you get the daily living element of PIP that Non Dependent Deductions shouldn't apply. I enquired with the DWP via my journal but they said it only applies if the non dependent receives PIP too. I can't see this anywhere can someone tell me who is right? And if I am right how can I prove this to the DWP? Thank you.

    Sorry but I think whoever told you that is mistaken.
    As far as u know you don’t have to both be getting PIP.

    Thank you so much! I did tell them this so if they keep saying it's wrong I'll have to ask to speak to a case manager.
